16 ‘Now therefore hear the word of the Lord.
You say, “Do not prophesy against Israel,
    and do not preach against the house of Isaac.”
17 Therefore, thus says the Lord:
“Your wife shall become a prostitute in the city,
    and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword,
    and your land shall be parcelled out by line;
you yourself shall die in an unclean land,
    and Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.”’

And Israel will surely go into exile,(D)
    away from their native land.(E)’”
