Jeremiah 27:12-18

12And I spake to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 accordingH413 to allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, sayingH559, BringH935 your necksH6677 underH935 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and serveH5647 him and his peopleH5971, and liveH2421.

13WhyH4100 will ye dieH4191, thou and thy peopleH5971, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698, as the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning the nationH1471 that will notH3808 serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894?

14And hearken notH3808 unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that speakH559 unto youH3588, sayingH559, Ye shall notH3808 serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto youH3588.

15For I have notH3808 sentH7971 them, saith the LORDH3068, but they prophesyH5012 falselyH8267 in my nameH8034; that I might driveH5080 youH859 outH7971, and that ye might perishH6, ye, and the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto youH859.

16Also I spake to the priestsH3548 and to allH3605 this peopleH5971, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: Hearken notH408 to the wordsH1697 of your prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto youH3588, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, the vesselsH3627 of the LORD’SH3068 houseH1004 shall nowH6258 shortlyH4120 be broughtH7725 againH7725 from BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto youH3588.

17Hearken notH408 unto them; serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and liveH2421: wherefore should this cityH5892 becomeH1961 a desolationH2723?

18But ifH518 they be prophetsH5030, and ifH518 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 be with them, letH4994 them nowH4994 makeH6293 intercession to the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that the vesselsH3627 whichH6635 are leftH3498 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and at JerusalemH3389, goH935 notH1115 to BabylonH894.
