Then everything will go well for you, and you will live. 21 But if you refuse to surrender, this is what the Lord has shown me. 22 All the women who are left in the palace of Judah’s king will be brought out to the officers of the king of Babylon.

‘Your trusted friends have misled you and used you.
Your feet are stuck in the mud, and your friends have deserted you.’
