8But like the bad figs that cannot be eaten because they are so bad, thus says Yahweh: so I will make Zedekiah king of Judah, his officials, the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.

9I will make them a horror, a calamity, to all the kingdoms of the earth—a reproach, a proverb, a taunt, and a curse in all the places where I drive them.

10And I will send against them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until they are consumed from the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
