Jeremiah 27:18-22

18But 1if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now 2entreat the Lord of hosts that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem may not go to Babylon.

19For thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the 3pillars, concerning the sea, concerning the stands and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,

20which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he 4carried into exile Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.

21Yes, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem,

22‘They will be 5carried to Babylon and they will be there until the 6day I visit them,’ declares the Lord. ‘Then I will 7bring them 8back and restore them to this place.’”
