And it shall come to pass, {that} as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, {but} let your hands be strong.

And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: {to be a curse: Heb. for a curse}

For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.

And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which {are} in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;

And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.

And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, {and} fall in the land of Egypt; they shall {even} be consumed by the sword {and} by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, {and} an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for {their} hurt, {to be} a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. {to be removed: Heb. for removing, or, vexation}

And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:

To the one {we are} the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who {is} sufficient for these things?

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things {is} death.

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous {are they}, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. {government: or, dominion}

And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart {is} snares and nets, {and} her hands {as} bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. {whoso...: Heb. he that is good before God}

But if thou hast gone aside {to another} instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:

But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Do unto them as {unto} the Midianites; as {to} Sisera, as {to} Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make {thy} belly to swell, and {thy} thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

And thou {shalt have} great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.

As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. {into his bowels: Heb. within him}
