Jeremiah 27:18-22

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

19For this is what the Lord of armies says concerning the 3pillars, concerning the 4sea, concerning the kettle stands, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,

20which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he 5led into exile Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem--

21Yes, this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, says 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 6brought to Babylon and will be there until the 7day I visit them,” declares the Lord. “Then I will 8bring them 9back and restore them to this place.”’”
