Jeremiah 27:12-15

12I spoke words like all these to 1Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him and his people, and live! 13Why will you 2die, you and your people, by the sword, famine and pestilence, as the Lord has spoken to that nation which will not serve the king of Babylon? 14So 3do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they prophesy a 4lie to you; 15for 5I have not sent them,” declares the Lord, “but they 6prophesy falsely in My name, in order that I may 7drive you out and that you may perish, 8you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
