Lexham English Bible
11 But the nation that will bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and will serve him, yet will I leave it on its land,” declares[a] Yahweh, “and they will till it, and they will live in it.”’”
12 And I spoke words like these to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, saying,[b] “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live. 13 Why should you die—you and your people—by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
