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.’”

³⁰ The rest of them escaped to the city of Aphek,^(A) where the wall collapsed^(B) on twenty-seven thousand of them. And Ben-Hadad fled to the city and hid^(C) in an inner room.
