I will give away all the wealth(A) of this city, all its products(B) and valuables. Indeed, I will hand all the treasures of the kings of Judah over to their enemies. They will plunder them, seize them, and carry them off to Babylon.(C) As for you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house, you will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon.(D) There you will die, and there you will be buried, you and all your friends to whom you prophesied lies.’”(E)

There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied(C) lies.’”
