“To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;”
The threat that the city will be made a curse before all the nations represents international shame as a consequence of continued rebellion. The explicit naming of Jerusalem ensures that the threat is concrete and specific. The scattering of the people (though not mentioned here) is implied by the curses that follow. The verse shows that judgment will include loss of the city's sanctity and status.
