The act of cursing; an object of cursing. The term appears in the KJV twice (Jeremiah 42:18 ,Jeremiah 42:18,44:12 ), both times in reference to the fate of the remnant who disobeyed God's word and sought safety in Egypt. The text may be understood in at least two ways. First, their name would become an object of cursing (NIV), that is, others would curse the remnant. Alternately, their name might be used as a curse (TEV) in the form “May you be like the remnant whom God destroyed.” See Blessing and Cursing .
