Your land will be given to others39

Israel will certainly be carried into exile41 away from its land.’ ”

Footnotes

  1. 37 Heb “in the city,” that is, “in public.”
  2. 38 Heb “will fall by the sword.”
  3. 39 Heb “will be divided up with a [surveyor’s] measuring line.”
  4. 40 Heb “[an] unclean”; or “[an] impure.” This fate would be especially humiliating for a priest, who was to distinguish between the ritually clean and unclean (see Lev 10:10).

Therefore thus says the Lord:

“ ‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city,

“Therefore this is what the Lord says:

“ ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city,

And Israel will surely go into exile,

away from their native land.’ ”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Therefore, this is what the Lord says:

Your wife will be a prostitute in the city,

your sons and daughters will fall by the sword,

and your land will be divided up

with a measuring line.

You yourself will die on pagan soil,

and Israel will certainly go into exile

from its homeland.

NLTNew Living Translation

But this is what the Lord says:

‘Your wife will become a prostitute in this city,

and your sons and daughters will be killed.

Your land will be divided up,

and you yourself will die in a foreign land.

And the people of Israel will certainly become captives in exile,

far from their homeland.’ ”

KJV 1900King James Version

Therefore thus saith the Lord;

Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city,

And thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword,

And thy land shall be divided by line;

And thou shalt die in a polluted land:

And Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
