Jeremiah 27 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
9 You therefore hear not your Prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, that say to you: You shall not serve the king of Babylon.
10 Because they prophesy lies unto you: that they may make you far from your country, & cast you out, and you perish.
11 But the nation, that shall submit their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and shall serve him, the same will I let alone in their own land, saith our Lord: and they shall husband it, and dwell in it.
12 And to Sedecias the king of Juda, I have spoken according to all these words, saying: Submit your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, and his people, and you shall live.
13 Why will you die, thou and thy people with the sword, and famine, & the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken to the nation, that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Hear not the words of the Prophets that say to you: You shall not serve the king of Babylon: because they speak a lie to you.
15 Because I sent them not, saith our Lord: & they prophesy in my name falsely: that they may cast you out, & you perish, as well you, as the Prophets that prophesy unto you.
16 And to the Priests, and to this people I have spoken, saying: Thus saith our Lord. Hear not the words of your Prophets, that prophesy to you, saying: Behold the vessels of our Lord shall return out of Babylon even now quickly, for they prophesy a lie unto you.
17 Therefore hear them not, but serve the king of Babylon, that you may live. Why is this city given into desolation?
18 And if they be Prophets, and the word of our Lord be in them: let them interpose themselves before the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which were left in the house of our Lord, & in the house of the king of Juda, and in Jerusalem, come not into Babylon.
