Jeremiah 27:4-11

4Order them to go to their masters, saying, ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “This is what you shall say to your masters: 5‘1I have made the earth, mankind, and the animals which are on the face of the earth 2by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and I will 3give it to the one who is 4pleasing in My sight. 6And now I 5have handed all these lands over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, 6My servant, and I have also given him the 7animals of the field to serve him. 78All the nations shall serve him and his son and his grandson 9until the time of his own land comes; then 10many nations and great kings will 11make him their servant.

8‘And it will be that the nation or the kingdom which 12will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the 13sword, with famine, and with plague,’ declares the Lord, ‘until I have eliminated 14it by his hand. 9And as for you, 15do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your 16dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers who talk to you, saying, “You will not serve the king of Babylon.” 10For they are prophesying a 17lie to you in order to 18remove you far from your land; and I will drive you away and you will perish. 11But the nation that will 19bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will 20let remain on its land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and they will cultivate it and live in it.’”’”
