¹⁵ “Because you have said, ‘The Lord has raised up ^(A)prophets for us in Babylon’— ¹⁶ for this is what the Lord says concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who live in this city, your brothers who did ^(B)not go with you into exile— ¹⁷ this is what the Lord of armies says: ‘Behold, I am sending upon them the ^(C)sword, famine, and plague; and I will make them like ^(D)rotten figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness.
