Jeremiah 27:11-17

11But the nationH1471 whichH834 will 1bringH935 its neckH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and serveH5647 him, I will 2let remainH5117 on its landH127,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “and they will tillH5647 it and dwellH3427 in it.”’”

12I spokeH1696 wordsH1697 like allH3605 theseH428 to 3ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, “BringH935 your necksH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and serveH5647 him and his peopleH5971, and liveH2421! 13WhyH4100 will you 4dieH4191, you and your peopleH5971, by the swordH2719, famineH7458 and pestilenceH1698, as the LordH3068 has spokenH1696 to that nationH1471 whichH834 will not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894? 14So 5do not listenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 who speakH559 to you, sayingH559, ‘You will not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894,’ for they prophesyH5012 a 6lieH8267 to you; 15for 7I have not sentH7971 them,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “but they 8prophesyH5012 falselyH8267 in My nameH8034, in orderH4616 that I may 9driveH5080 you out and that you may perishH6, 10you and the prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 to you.”

16Then I spokeH1696 to the priestsH3548 and to allH3605 thisH2088 peopleH5971, sayingH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068: Do not listenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of your prophetsH5030 who prophesyH5012 to you, sayingH559, ‘BeholdH2009, the 11vesselsH3627 of the Lord’sH3068 houseH1004 will nowH6258 shortlyH4120 be broughtH7725 againH7725 from BabylonH894’; for they are prophesyingH5012 a 12lieH8267 to you. 17Do not listenH8085 to them; serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and liveH2421! WhyH4100 should thisH2088 cityH5892 13becomeH1961 a ruinH2723?
