²⁵ “^(A)The Lord shall cause you to be ^[a]defeated before your enemies; you will go out one way against them, but you will flee seven ways before them, and you will ^(B)be an example of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

⁸ Therefore ^(A)the wrath of the Lord was against Judah and Jerusalem, and He has made them an object of terror, of horror, and of ^(B)hissing, as you see with your own eyes.

⁴ I will ^(A)make them an object of horror among all the kingdoms of the earth because of ^(B)Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.

⁹ I will ^(A)make them a terror and an evil for all the kingdoms of the earth, as a ^(B)reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a ^(C)curse in all places where I will scatter them.

¹⁷ “Therefore thus says the Lord, ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming ^[a]release each man to his brother and each man to his neighbor. Behold, I am ^(A)proclaiming a ^[b]release to you,’ declares the Lord, ‘to the ^(B)sword, to the pestilence and to the famine; and I will make you a ^(C)terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

¹⁵ So they will ^(A)know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the nations and spread them among the countries.
