Jeremiah 44:10

Jeremiah 44:10

8 in that you ^aprovoke Me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have gone to dwell, that you may cut yourselves off and be ^ba curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

10 They have not been ^ahumbled, to this day, nor have they ^bfeared; they have not walked in My law or in My statutes that I set before you and your fathers.’

11 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, ^aI will set My face against you for catastrophe and for¹ cutting off all Judah.

12 And I will take the remnant of Judah who have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to dwell there, and ^athey shall all be consumed and fall in the land of Egypt. They shall be consumed by the sword and by famine. They shall die, from the least to the greatest, by the sword and by famine; and ^bthey shall be an oath, an astonishment, a curse and a reproach!
