Jeremiah 27:12-18
12I spakeH1696 also to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 according to all these wordsH1697, sayingH559, BringH935 your necksH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and serveH5647 him and his peopleH5971, and liveH2421. 13Why will ye dieH4191, thou and thy peopleH5971, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698, as YhwhH3068 hath spokenH1696 against the nationH1471 that will not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894? 14Therefore hearkenH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that speakH559 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you. 15For I have not sentH7971 them, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, yet they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 in my nameH8034; that I might drive you outH5080, and that ye might perishH6, ye, and the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you.1 16Also I spakeH1696 to the priestsH3548 and to all this peopleH5971, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; HearkenH8085 not to the wordsH1697 of your prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you, sayingH559, Behold, the vesselsH3627 of Yhwh'sH3068 houseH1004 shall now shortlyH4120 be brought againH7725 from BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you. 17HearkenH8085 not unto them; serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and liveH2421: wherefore should this cityH5892 be laid wasteH2723? 18But if they be prophetsH5030, and if the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 beH3426 with them, let them now make intercessionH6293 to YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, that the vesselsH3627 which are leftH3498 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and in the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and at JerusalemH3389, goH935 not to BabylonH894.
