16 (A)Now therefore hear the word of the Lord.

“You say, (B)‘Do not prophesy against Israel,
    and (C)do not preach against the house of (D)Isaac.’

17 (E)Therefore thus says the Lord:

“‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city,
    and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword,
    and your land (F)shall be divided up with a measuring line;
you yourself shall die in an unclean land,
    and (G)Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.’”

16 Now then, hear(A) the word of the Lord. You say,

“‘Do not prophesy against(B) Israel,
    and stop preaching against the descendants of Isaac.’

17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:

“‘Your wife will become a prostitute(C) in the city,
    and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword.
Your land will be measured and divided up,
    and you yourself will die in a pagan[a] country.
And Israel will surely go into exile,(D)
    away from their native land.(E)’”
