¹⁴ But now your kingdom^(A) will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart^(B) and appointed^(C) him ruler^(D) of his people, because you have not kept^(E) the Lord’s command.”

³² this is what the Lord says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants.^(A) He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good^(B) things I will do for my people, declares the Lord, because he has preached rebellion^(C) against me.’”

¹⁶ Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth.^(A) This very year you are going to die,^(B) because you have preached rebellion^(C) against the Lord.’”

¹⁰ Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire,^(A) who practices divination^(B) or sorcery,^(C) interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,^{(D) 11} or casts spells,^(E) or who is a medium or spiritist^(F) or who consults the dead.
