15 And when you are gone, your name will become a curse—
    a repugnant byword—to My chosen people;
The Eternal God will put you to death
    and call His servants by a new name altogether.
16 Whoever speaks a blessing in this special land
    will invoke the God of truth;
Whoever takes a vow in the land of promise
    will make his pledge by the God of truth.

        No one will talk or even think about it anymore.
