15 ‘So [a]it shall be a (A)reproach, a taunt, a (B)lesson, and an astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger and in fury and in (C)furious rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken. 16 When I (D)send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and cut off your (E)supply of bread. 17 So I will send against you famine and (F)wild beasts, and they will bereave you. (G)Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’ ”
