16 “Very well then, hear this message from the Lord:

‘You are saying,
    “Don’t prophesy against Israel,
        and don’t preach against the house of Isaac.”

    “Your wife will become a whore in the city,
        and your sons and daughters will die by the sword.
    Your land will be divided and apportioned,
        and you will die in a foreign[a] land.
    Israel will surely go into exile,
        far from its homeland.”’”
