“ ‘Don’t prophesy against Israel.
    Stop preaching against the people of Isaac.’

“ ‘Your wife will become a prostitute
    in the city of Bethel.
    Your sons and daughters will be killed by swords.

    And you yourself will die in another country.
The people of Israel will surely be taken away as prisoners.
    They will be carried off from their own land.’ ”
