38 You will perish among the nations,+ and the land of your enemies will consume you. 39 Those of you who remain will be left to rot in the lands of your enemies+ because of your error. Yes, they will rot away because of the errors of their fathers.+

7 I will cut Israel off from the surface of the land that I have given to them,+ and the house that I have sanctified for my name I will cast out of my sight,+ and Israel will become an object of scorn* and a cause for ridicule among all the peoples.+ 8 And this house will become heaps of ruins.+ Everyone passing by it will stare in amazement and will whistle and say, ‘Why did Jehovah do that to this land and this house?’+ 9 Then they will say, ‘It was because they abandoned Jehovah their God, who had brought their forefathers out of the land of Egypt, and they embraced other gods and bowed down to them and served them. That is why Jehovah brought all this calamity on them.’”+

9 I will make them an object of horror and calamity to all the kingdoms of the earth,+ a reproach, a proverbial saying, a cause for ridicule, and a curse+ in all the places to which I disperse them.+
