20 But Jeremiah said, “They shall not deliver you. Please, obey the voice of the Lord which I speak to you. So it shall be (A)well with you, and your soul shall live. 21 But if you refuse to [a]surrender, this is the word that the Lord has shown me: 22 ‘Now behold, all the (B)women who are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be surrendered to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say:

“Your close friends have [b]set upon you
And prevailed against you;
Your feet have sunk in the mire,
And they have [c]turned away again.”
