you yourself shall die in an unclean land,
    and (C)Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.’”

The Fall of Israel

In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria (A)captured Samaria, (B)and he carried the Israelites away to Assyria (C)and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of (D)Gozan, and in the cities of (E)the Medes.

13 (A)They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains
    and burn offerings on the hills,
(B)under oak, poplar, and terebinth,
    because their shade is good.
Therefore your daughters play the whore,
    and your brides commit adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore,
    nor your brides when they commit adultery;
for (C)the men themselves go aside with prostitutes
    and sacrifice with (D)cult prostitutes,
and a people (E)without understanding shall come to ruin.

I will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and upon the people of Judah all the disaster that I have pronounced against them, but they would not hear.’”

32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to (F)Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who (G)wrote on it at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.

The (D)sound of a (E)driven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. 37 They shall stumble over one another, as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And (F)you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And those of you who are left shall (G)rot away in your enemies' lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.
