15 Then the Lord took me [a]as I followed the flock,
And the Lord said to me,
‘Go, (A)prophesy to My people Israel.’
16 Now therefore, hear the word of the Lord:
You say, ‘Do not prophesy against Israel,
And (B)do not [b]spout against the house of Isaac.’

17 “Therefore(C) thus says the Lord:

(D)‘Your wife shall be a harlot in the city;
Your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword;
Your land shall be divided by survey line;
You shall die in a (E)defiled land;
And Israel shall surely be led away captive
From his own land.’ ”
