Jeremiah 24:9
24:9 I will bring such disaster on them that all the kingdoms of the earth will be horrified. I will make them an object of reproach, a proverbial example of disaster. I will make them an object of ridicule, an example to be used in curses.
That is how they will be remembered wherever I banish them.
Ezekiel 5:15
5:15 You will be
an object of scorn and taunting,
a prime example of destruction
among the nations around you when I execute judgments against you in anger and raging fury.
I, the
Lord, have spoken!
Habakkuk 2:6
The Proud Babylonians are as Good as Dead
2:6 “But all these nations will someday taunt him
and ridicule him with proverbial sayings:
‘The one who accumulates what does not belong to him is as good as dead
(How long will this go on?) –
he who gets rich by extortion!’
