Jeremiah 27:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ “‘“But if some nations or kingdoms refuse to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and refuse to be under his control, I will punish them with war, hunger, and terrible diseases, says the Lord. I will use Nebuchadnezzar to destroy them. ⁹ So don’t listen to your false prophets, those who use magic to tell the future, those who explain dreams, the mediums, or magicians. They all tell you, ‘You will not be slaves to the king of Babylon.’ ¹⁰ They are telling you lies that will cause you to be taken far from your homeland. I will force you to leave your homes, and you will die in another land.
