Jeremiah 27:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁸ But if any nation or kingdom will not serve this king, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, then I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, says the Lord, until I have completed its^[a] destruction by his hand. ⁹ You, therefore, must not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers,^[b] your soothsayers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’ ¹⁰ For they are prophesying a lie to you, with the result that you will be removed far from your land; I will drive you out, and you will perish.
