15 But the Lord took me from [a]following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go (A)prophesy to My people Israel.’ 16 So now hear the word of the Lord: you are saying, ‘You (B)shall not prophesy against Israel (C)nor shall you [b]prophesy against the house of Isaac.’ 17 Therefore, this is what the Lord says: ‘Your (D)wife will become a prostitute in the city, your (E)sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be parceled up by a measuring line, and you yourself will die [c]upon (F)unclean soil. Furthermore Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.’”
