Jeremiah 27:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ For I have not sent them, says the Lord, yet they prophesy a lie in My name, so that I might drive you out and that you might perish, you and the prophets that prophesy to you.

¹⁶ I also spoke to the priests and to all this people: Thus says the Lord: Do not listen to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, “The vessels of the house of the Lord will now soon be brought again 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?
