예레미야 27

느부갓네살왕을 섬기는 여러 나라
27 요시야의 아들인 [a]시드기야가 유다 왕이 된 지 얼마 되지 않아 여호와 께서 나에게 말씀하셨다.
2 “너는 여러 줄과 멍에를 만들어 네 목에 걸고
3 시드기야왕을 만나러 예루살렘에 온 사신들에게 그것을 주어 에돔과 모압과 암몬과 두로와 시돈 왕들에게 전하게 하고
4 그 사신들에게 이렇게 말하라: 여러분은 여러분의 왕들에게 가서 전능하신 여호와 이스라엘의 하나님이 이렇게 말했다고 전하시오.
5 ‘나는 큰 능력과 힘으로 땅과 그 위에 있는 사람과 짐승을 만들었다. 그래서 내가 원하는 사람에게는 누구에게나 땅을 주었다.
6 이제 내가 이 모든 땅을 나의 종인 바빌로니아의 느부갓네살왕에게 주었고 또 모든 들짐승들을 그의 소유로 주었다.
7 모든 나라들은 바빌로니아가 망할 때까지 그와 그의 아들과 그의 손자를 섬길 것이다. 그의 시대가 끝나게 되면 강대국들과 그 왕들이 바빌로니아를 정복하고 그를 자기들의 종으로 삼을 것이다.
8 나 여호와가 말한다. 바빌로니아의 느부갓네살왕을 섬기지 않거나 그의 멍에를 메지 않는 나라나 백성은 내가 느부갓네살왕을 통해 그들을 전멸시킬 때까지 전쟁과 기근과 질병으로 그들을 벌할 것이다.
9 너희는 바빌로니아 왕을 섬기지 않을 것이라고 말하는 너희 예언자나 점쟁이나 해몽가나 영매나 요술사들의 말을 듣지 말아라.
10 그들은 너희에게 거짓 예언을 하여 너희를 너희 땅에서 멀리 떠나게 하는 자들이다. 너희가 만일 그들의 말을 들으면 내가 너희를 추방하고 망하게 할 것이다.
11 그러나 바빌로니아 왕의 멍에를 메고 그를 섬기는 나라에 대해서는 내가 그들을 자기들의 땅에 머물러 경작하며 그대로 살게 할 것이다.’ ”
12 나는 또 유다의 시드기야왕에게도 이렇게 말하였다. “왕은 바빌로니아 왕에게 복종하여 그와 그 백성을 섬기십시오. 그러면 살 것입니다.
13 어째서 왕과 왕의 백성은 전쟁과 기근과 질병으로 죽으려고 하십니까? 여호와께서는 바빌로니아 왕을 섬기지 않는 나라를 그렇게 죽이시겠다고 말씀하셨습니다.
14 왕은 바빌로니아 왕을 섬기지 말라고 하는 예언자들의 말을 듣지 마십시오. 그들은 거짓 예언을 하는 자들입니다.
15 여호와께서 이렇게 말씀하셨습니다. ‘내가 그들을 보내지 않았는데도 그들은 내 이름으로 거짓 예언을 하고 있다. 너희가 만일 그들의 말을 들으면 내가 너희를 이 땅에서 추방해 버리겠다. 너희와 너희에게 예언하는 예언자들이 다 같이 멸망할 것이다.’ ”
16 그러고서 나는 제사장들과 모든 백성들에게 말하였다. “여호와께서 이렇게 말씀하셨습니다. ‘너희는 성전 기구들을 바빌로니아에서 다시 가져오게 될 것이라고 말하는 예언자들의 말을 듣지 말아라. 그들은 너희에게 거짓 예언을 하고 있다.
17 너희는 그들의 말을 듣지 말고 바빌로니아 왕을 섬겨라. 그러면 너희가 살게 될 것이다. 이 성이 황폐해져야 할 이유가 무엇이냐?
18 만일 그들이 진실한 예언자라면, 또 그들이 나 여호와의 말을 받은 것이 있다면 그들로 전능한 나 여호와에게 간구하게 하여 성전과 궁전에 남아 있는 기구들을 바빌로니아에 빼앗기지 않게 하라.’
19-20 “여호와께서 이렇게 말씀하신 것은 느 부갓네살왕이 유다 왕 여호야김의 아들 여호야긴과 유다와 예루살렘의 모든 귀족들을 바빌로니아로 사로잡아 갈 때 그가 성전의 기둥들과 놋으로 만든 거대한 물탱크와 여러 가지 받침들과 그 밖에 몇몇 성전 기구들을 남겨 두었기 때문입니다.
21 전능하신 여호와 이스라엘의 하나님이 성전과 예루살렘 궁전에 남아 있는 기구들에 대하여 이렇게 말씀하셨습니다.
22 ‘그것들이 바빌로니아로 옮겨질 것이며 내가 그것에 대해서 관심을 가질 때까지 그 기구들은 거기에 있을 것이다. 그 후에 내가 그것들을 옮겨 다시 이 곳에 두겠다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.’ ”

Symbol of the Bonds and Yokes
27 In[a] the beginning of the reign of [b]Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, (A)king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord to me: ‘Make for yourselves bonds and yokes, (B)and put them on your neck, 3 and send them to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the Ammonites, the king of Tyre, and the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. 4 And command them to say to their masters, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel—thus you shall say to your masters: 5 (C)‘I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and (D)have given it to whom it seemed proper to Me. 6 (E)And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, (F)My servant; and (G)the beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him. 7 (H)So all nations shall serve him and his son and his son’s son, (I)until the time of his land comes; (J)and then many nations and great kings shall make him serve them. 8 And it shall be, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and which will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish,’ says the Lord, ‘with the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. 9 Therefore do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your [c]dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon.” 10 For they prophesy a (K)lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and I will drive you out, and you will perish. 11 But the nations that bring their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let them remain in their own land,’ says the Lord, ‘and they shall till it and dwell in it.’ ” ’ ”
12 I also spoke to (L)Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live! 13 (M)Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 14 Therefore (N)do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they prophesy (O)a lie to you; 15 for I have (P)not sent them,” says the Lord, “yet they prophesy a lie in My name, that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, “Behold, (Q)the vessels of the Lord’s house will now shortly be brought back from Babylon”; for they prophesy a lie to you. 17 Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live! Why should this city be laid waste? 18 But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, do not go to Babylon.’
19 “For thus says the Lord of hosts (R)concerning the pillars, concerning the Sea, concerning the carts, and concerning the remainder of the vessels that remain in this city, 20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away (S)captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem— 21 yes, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the (T)vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem: 22 ‘They shall be (U)carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day that I (V)visit them,’ says the Lord. ‘Then (W)I will bring them up and restore them to this place.’ ”

King James Version
27 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
4 And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;
5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
10 For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the Lord; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
12 I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
15 For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
18 But if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
19 For thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city.
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
21 Yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the Lord; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
