Please [a](A)obey the Lord in what I am saying to you, that it may go (B)well with you and [b](C)you may live. 21 But if you keep refusing to go out, this is the word which the Lord has shown me: 22 ‘Then behold, all of the (D)women who have been left in the palace of the king of Judah are going to be brought out to the [c]officers of the king of Babylon; and those women will say,

While your feet were sunk in the mire,
They turned back.”
