Jeremiah 27:12-18

12And toH413 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 I spokeH1696 the sameH3605 messageH1697H428H559: “PutH935 your necksH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894; serveH5647 himH853 and his peopleH5971, and liveH2421! 13WhyH4100 should youH859 and your peopleH5971 dieH4191 by swordH2719 and famineH7458 and plagueH1698, asH834 the LORDH3068 has decreedH1696 againstH413 any nationH1471 thatH834 does notH3808 serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894?

14Do notH408 listenH8085 toH413 the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 who sayH559H413, ‘You must notH3808 serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894,’ forH3588 theyH1992 are prophesyingH5012 to you a lieH8267. 15ForH3588 I have notH3808 sent themH7971, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, and yet theyH1992 are prophesyingH5012 falselyH8267 in My nameH8034; thereforeH4616 I will banishH5080 youH853, and you will perishH6—youH859 and the prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 to you.”

16Then I saidH1696 toH413 the priestsH3548 and toH413 allH3605 thisH2088 peopleH5971, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: Do notH408 listenH8085 toH413 the wordsH1697 of your prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 to you, sayingH559, ‘LookH2009, very soonH4120H3588 nowH6258 the articlesH3627 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 will be brought backH7725 from BabylonH894.’ TheyH1992 are prophesyingH5012 to you a lieH8267. 17Do notH408 listenH8085 to themH413. ServeH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and liveH2421! WhyH4100 should thisH2063 cityH5892 becomeH1961 a ruinH2723?

18IfH518 theyH1992 are indeed prophetsH5030 andH518 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 isH3426 with themH854, let them nowH4994 plead withH6293 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 that the articlesH3627 remainingH3498 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the palaceH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and in JerusalemH3389, notH1115 be takenH935 to BabylonH894.
