Jeremiah 27:6-9

6And now I 1have handed all these lands over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, 2My servant, and I have also given him the 3animals of the field to serve him. 7 4All the nations shall serve him and his son and his grandson 5until the time of his own land comes; then 6many nations and great kings will 7make him their servant.

8‘And it will be that the nation or the kingdom which 8will 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 9sword, with famine, and with plague,’ declares the Lord, ‘until I have eliminated 10it by his hand. 9And as for you, 11do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your 12dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers who talk to you, saying, “You will not serve the king of Babylon.”
