Jeremiah 27:11-17

11But the nationsH1471 that bringH935 their neckH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and serveH5647 him, those will I let remain stillH3240 in their own landH127, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and they shall tillH5647 it, and dwellH3427 in it.

12I spokeH1696 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 the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 against the nationH1471 that will not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894? 14Therefore hearkenH8085 not to the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that speakH559 to you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 to you. 15For I have not sentH7971 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, 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 to you.1 16Also I spokeH1696 to the priestsH3548 and to all this peopleH5971, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; HearkenH8085 not to the wordsH1697 of your prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 to you, sayingH559, Behold, the vesselsH3627 of the LORD’SH3068 houseH1004 shall now shortlyH4120 be brought againH7725 from BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 to you. 17HearkenH8085 not to them; serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and liveH2421: why should this cityH5892 be laid wasteH2723?
