- "And thou shalt become¹ an astonishment,ª a proverb,ª and a byword,ª among all¹ nationsª whither¹¹ the LORDª shall leadª° thee." {Deu 28:37} + "[And that] the whole¹ landª thereof [is] brimstone,ª and salt,ª [and] burning,ª [that] it is not¹ sown,ª° nor¹ beareth,ª° nor¹ any¹ grassª growethª° therein, like the overthrowª of Sodom,ª and Gomorrah,ª Admah,ª and Zeboim,ª which¹ the LORDª overthrewª° in his anger,ª and in his wrath:ª ... And the LORDª rooted²° them out¹ of¹¹ their landª in anger,ª and in wrath,ª and in greatª indignation,ª and castª° them into¹ anotherª land,ª as [it is] this¹ day.ª" {Deu 29:23-28} + "Then will I cut offª°¹ Israelª out² of¹¹¹ the landª which¹ I have givenª° them; and this house,ª which¹ I have hallowedª° for my name,ª will I cast¹ out²° of¹¹ my sight;ª and Israelª shall be¹ a proverbª and a bywordª among all¹ people:ª ... And at this¹ house,ª [which] is¹ high,ª every one¹ that passethª° by¹ it shall be astonished,ª° and shall hiss;ª° and they shall say,ª° Why¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land,ª and to this¹ house?ª" {1Kg 9:7-8} + "Then will I pluck them up by the rootsª° out of¹¹ my landª which¹ I have givenª° them; and this¹ house,ª which¹ I have sanctifiedª° for my name,ª will I cast outª° of¹¹ my sight,ª and will makeª° it [to be] a proverbª and a bywordª among all¹ nations.ª ... And it shall be answered,ª° Because¹¹ they forsookª°¹ the LORDª Godª of their fathers,ª which¹ brought them forthª° out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and laid holdª° on otherª gods,ª and worshippedª° them, and servedª° them: therefore¹¹ hath he broughtª°¹ all¹ this¹ evilª upon¹ them." {2Ch 7:20-22} + "Thou makestª° us a reproachª to our neighbours,ª a scornª and a derisionª to them that are round aboutª us. ... Thou makestª° us a bywordª among the heathen,ª a shakingª of the headª among the people.ª" {Psa 44:13-14} + "For the voiceª¹ of him that reproachethª° and blasphemeth;ª° by reasonª¹ of the enemyª° and avenger.ª°" {Psa 44:16} + "We are become¹ a reproachª to our neighbours,ª a scornª and derisionª to them that are round aboutª us." {Psa 79:4} + "And ye shall leave²°¹ your nameª for a curseª unto my chosen:ª for the Lordª GODª shall slayª° thee, and callª° his servantsª by anotherª name:ª ... That he who¹ blesseth²° himself¹ in the earthª shall bless²° himself¹ in the Godª of truth;ª and he that swearethª° in the earthª shall swearª° by the Godª of truth;ª because¹ the formerª troublesª are forgotten,ª° and because¹ they are hidª° from mine eyes.ª¹" {Isa 65:15-16} + "And I will deliverª° them to be removedª°² into all¹ the kingdomsª of the earthª for [their] hurt,ª [to be] a reproachª and a proverb,ª a tauntª and a curse,ª in all¹ placesª whither¹¹ I shall driveª° them." {Jer 24:9} + "[To wit],¹ Jerusalem,ª and the citiesª of Judah,ª and the kingsª thereof, and¹ the princesª thereof, to makeª° them a desolation,ª an astonishment,ª an hissing,ª and a curse;ª as [it is] this¹ day;ª" {Jer 25:18} + "Then will I makeª°¹ this¹ houseª like Shiloh,ª and will makeª° this¹ cityª a curseª to all¹ the nationsª of the earth.ª" {Jer 26:6} + "And I will persecuteª°¹ them² with the sword,ª with the famine,ª and with the pestilence,ª and will deliverª° them to be removedª°² to all¹ the kingdomsª of the earth,ª to be a curse,ª and an astonishment,ª and an hissing,ª and a reproach,ª among all¹ the nationsª whither¹¹ I have drivenª° them:" {Jer 29:18} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts,ª the Godª of Israel;ª As¹ mine angerª and my furyª hath been poured forthª° upon¹ the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem;ª so¹ shall my furyª be poured forthª° upon¹ you, when ye shall¹ enter²° into¹ Egypt:ª and ye shall be an execration,ª and an astonishment,ª and a curse,ª and a reproach;ª and ye shall seeª°¹ this¹ placeª no¹ more.¹" {Jer 42:18} + "And I will takeª°¹ the remnantª of Judah,ª that¹ have setª° their facesª to go²° into¹ the landª of Egyptª to sojournª° there,¹ and they shall all¹ be consumed,ª° [and] fallª° in the landª of Egypt;ª they shall [even] be consumedª° by the swordª [and] by the famine:ª they shall die,ª° from the leastª¹ even unto¹ the greatest,ª by the swordª and by the famine:ª and they shall be¹ an execration,ª [and] an astonishment,ª and a curse,ª and a reproach.ª" {Jer 44:12} + "So that the LORDª couldª° no¹ longer¹ bear,ª° becauseª¹ of the evilª of your doings,ª [and] becauseª¹ of the abominationsª which¹ ye have committed;ª° therefore is¹ your landª a desolation,ª and an astonishment,ª and a curse,ª without¹¹ an inhabitant,ª° as at this¹ day.ª" {Jer 44:22} + "All¹ that pass²° by¹¹ clapª° [their] handsª at¹ thee;² they hissª° and wagª° their headª at¹ the daughterª of Jerusalem,ª [saying, Is] this¹ the cityª that [men] callª°¹ The perfectionª of beauty,ª The joyª of the whole¹ earth?ª ... All¹ thine enemiesª° have openedª° their mouthª against¹ thee: they hissª° and gnashª° the teeth:ª they say,ª° We have swallowed [her] up:ª° certainlyª this¹ [is] the dayª that we looked for;ª°¹ we have found,ª° we have seenª° [it]." {Lam 2:15-16} + "They criedª° unto them, Departª° ye; [it is] unclean;ª depart,ª° depart,ª° touchª° not:¹ when¹ they fled awayª° and¹ wandered,ª° they saidª° among the heathen,ª They shall no¹ moreª° sojournª° [there]." {Lam 4:15} + "So it shall be¹ a reproachª and a taunt,ª an instructionª and an astonishmentª unto the nationsª that¹ [are] round aboutª thee, when I shall executeª° judgmentsª in thee in angerª and in furyª and in furiousª rebukes.ª I¹ the LORDª have spokenª° [it]." {Ezk 5:15} + "Yea, all¹ Israelª have transgressedª°¹ thy law,ª even by departing,ª° that they might not¹ obeyª° thy voice;ª therefore the curseª is pouredª° upon¹ us, and the oathª that¹ [is] writtenª° in the lawª of Mosesª the servantª of God,ª because¹ we have sinnedª° against him." {Dan 9:11}
