20 “Jehovah will send upon you the curse,+ confusion+ and rebuke+ in every undertaking of yours that you try to carry out, until you have been annihilated and have perished in a hurry, because of the badness of your practices in that you have forsaken me.+

20 And God’s spirit+ itself enveloped*+ Zech·a·riʹah+ the son of Je·hoiʹa·da+ the priest, so that he stood up above the people and said to them: “This is what the [true] God has said, ‘Why are YOU overstepping the commandments of Jehovah, so that YOU cannot prove successful?+ Because YOU have left Jehovah, he will, in turn, leave YOU.’”+
