Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 24:9

"I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them." — Jeremiah 24:9 (ASV)

To be a reproach and a proverb. —The language of the verse is coloured by that of Deuteronomy 28:25; Deuteronomy 28:37, from which most of the words are chosen.
