¹⁸ This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and wrath^(A) have been poured out on those who lived in Jerusalem,^(B) so will my wrath be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You will be a curse^[a](C) and an object of horror,^(D) a curse^[b] and an object of reproach;^(E) you will never see this place again.’^(F)

⁶ Therefore, my fierce anger was poured out;^(A) it raged against the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem and made them the desolate ruins^(B) they are today.

²⁵ Because they have forsaken me^(A) and burned incense to other gods and aroused my anger by all that their hands have made,^[a] my anger will be poured out on this place and will not be quenched.’
