“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.”
The promise that God will make them a horror and evil to all kingdoms and will pursue them with sword, famine, and pestilence represents comprehensive judgment on the remnant. The public shame (horror to all kingdoms) adds to the physical destruction. The threefold description of judgment (sword, famine, pestilence) recalls the opening chapters' threatened covenant curses. The vision shows that the remnant's resistance to exile will result in complete destruction.
