Jeremiah 27:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ I have not sent them, says the Lord, but they are prophesying falsely in my name. As a result, I will drive you out, and you will perish, as will all the prophets who are prophesying to you.

¹⁶ Then I spoke to the priests and all the prophets as follows: Thus says the Lord: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who say, “In a very short time, the vessels of the house of the Lord will be brought back from Babylon.” They are prophesying lies to you. ¹⁷ Refuse to listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and you will save your lives. Why should this city become a pile of ruins?
