Jeremiah 27:8-12
English Standard Version
8 “‘“But if any nation or kingdom will not serve this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, (A)and put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation (B)with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, declares the Lord, until I have consumed it by his hand. 9 So (C)do not listen to your (D)prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your (E)fortune-tellers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’ 10 (F)For it is a lie that they are prophesying to you, with the result that you will be removed far from your land, and I will drive you out, and you will perish. 11 (G)But any nation that will bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave on its own land, to work it and dwell there, declares the Lord.”’”
12 To (H)Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke in like manner: (I)“Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and (J)serve him and his people and live.
