15 But the Lord took me from following the flock(A) and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’”(B)

16 Now hear the word of the Lord. You say:

Do not prophesy(C) against Israel;
do not preach(D) against the house of Isaac.

17 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:

Your wife will be a prostitute in the city,(E)
your sons and daughters will fall by the sword,(F)
and your land will be divided up
with a measuring line.
You yourself will die on pagan[a] soil,(G)
and Israel will certainly go into exile(H)
from its homeland.
