I will also give over all the (A)wealth of this city, all its produce and all its costly things; even all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give over to the (B)hand of their enemies, and they will plunder them, take them away and bring them to Babylon. And you, (C)Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into captivity; and you will enter Babylon, and there you will die and there you will be buried, you and all your (D)friends to whom you have (E)falsely prophesied.’”

Everyone (H)mocks me.

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