Jeremiah 27:16-22
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Also I spake to the Priests, and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hear not the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, (A)the vessels of the house of the Lord shall now shortly be [a]brought again from Babel: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
17 Hear them not, but serve the king of Babel, that ye may live: wherefore should this city be desolate?
18 But if they be Prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them [b]entreat the Lord of hosts, that the vessels, which are left in the House of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babel.
19 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, concerning the (B)pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel took not, when he carried (C)away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babel, with all the nobles of Judah, and Jerusalem.
21 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem,
22 They shall be brought to Babel, and there they shall be until the day that I visit [c]them, saith the Lord: then will I bring them up, and restore them unto this place.
