Jeremiah 27:2-12
New Living Translation
2 This is what the Lord said to me: “Make a yoke, and fasten it on your neck with leather straps. 3 Then send messages to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through their ambassadors who have come to see King Zedekiah in Jerusalem. 4 Give them this message for their masters: ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: 5 With my great strength and powerful arm I made the earth and all its people and every animal. I can give these things of mine to anyone I choose. 6 Now I will give your countries to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who is my servant. I have put everything, even the wild animals, under his control. 7 All the nations will serve him, his son, and his grandson until his time is up. Then many nations and great kings will conquer and rule over Babylon. 8 So you must submit to Babylon’s king and serve him; put your neck under Babylon’s yoke! I will punish any nation that refuses to be his slave, says the Lord. I will send war, famine, and disease upon that nation until Babylon has conquered it.
9 “‘Do not listen to your false prophets, fortune-tellers, interpreters of dreams, mediums, and sorcerers who say, “The king of Babylon will not conquer you.” 10 They are all liars, and their lies will lead to your being driven out of your land. I will drive you out and send you far away to die. 11 But the people of any nation that submits to the king of Babylon will be allowed to stay in their own country to farm the land as usual. I, the Lord, have spoken!’”
12 Then I repeated this same message to King Zedekiah of Judah. “If you want to live, submit to the yoke of the king of Babylon and his people.

2 This is what the Lord said to me: “Make a yoke(A) out of straps and crossbars and put it on your neck. 3 Then send(B) word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon,(C) Tyre and Sidon(D) through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. 4 Give them a message for their masters and say, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Tell this to your masters: 5 With my great power and outstretched arm(E) I made(F) the earth and its people and the animals(G) that are on it, and I give(H) it to anyone I please. 6 Now I will give all your countries into the hands of my servant(I) Nebuchadnezzar(J) king of Babylon; I will make even the wild animals subject to him.(K) 7 All nations will serve(L) him and his son and his grandson until the time(M) for his land comes; then many nations and great kings will subjugate(N) him.
8 “‘“If, however, any nation or kingdom will not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon or bow its neck under his yoke, I will punish(O) that nation with the sword,(P) famine(Q) and plague,(R) declares the Lord, until I destroy it by his hand. 9 So do not listen to your prophets,(S) your diviners,(T) your interpreters of dreams,(U) your mediums(V) or your sorcerers(W) who tell you, ‘You will not serve(X) the king of Babylon.’ 10 They prophesy lies(Y) to you that will only serve to remove(Z) you far from your lands; I will banish you and you will perish. 11 But if any nation will bow its neck under the yoke(AA) of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let that nation remain in its own land to till it and to live(AB) there, declares the Lord.”’”
12 I gave the same message to Zedekiah king of Judah. I said, “Bow your neck under the yoke(AC) of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and you will live.(AD)
