Judah's people will serve King Nebuchadnezzar
27 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah when Josiah's son Zedekiah became king of Judah. 2 The Lord said to me, ‘Use wood and leather to make a yoke. Tie the yoke around your neck.[a] 3 Then send a message to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre and Sidon. Those kings have officers who have come to see King Zedekiah of Judah here in Jerusalem.
