“And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.”
The promise to make them a reproach, a byword, a curse in all places where they are driven represents the ultimate degradation. The being driven place to place (unlike the exiles who are settled) emphasizes their instability and homelessness. The perpetual nature of the curse suggests that judgment will follow them wherever they go. The vision concludes by showing that resistance to God's plan leads to endless wandering and degradation.
