Moreover, (A)I will give all the wealth of the city, all its gains, all its (B)prized belongings, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them and seize them and carry them to Babylon. And you, (C)Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. To Babylon you shall go, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, (D)to whom you have prophesied falsely.”

O Lord, (E)you have deceived me,

(F)you are stronger than I,
    and you have prevailed.
(G)I have become a laughing-stock all the day;
    everyone mocks me.

They will take it away(B) as plunder and carry it off to Babylon. And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into exile to Babylon. There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied(C) lies.’”

    everyone mocks(G) me.
