Jeremiah 27:12-15
English Standard Version
12 To (A)Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke in like manner: (B)“Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and (C)serve him and his people and live. 13 (D)Why will you and your people die (E)by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, (F)as the Lord has spoken concerning any nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 14 (G)Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon,’ (H)for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you. 15 I have not sent them, declares the Lord, but (I)they are prophesying falsely in my name, with the result that I will drive you out and you will perish, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”

Jeremiah 27:12-15
New Living Translation
12 Then I repeated this same message to King Zedekiah of Judah. “If you want to live, submit to the yoke of the king of Babylon and his people. 13 Why do you insist on dying—you and your people? Why should you choose war, famine, and disease, which the Lord will bring against every nation that refuses to submit to Babylon’s king? 14 Do not listen to the false prophets who keep telling you, ‘The king of Babylon will not conquer you.’ They are liars. 15 This is what the Lord says: ‘I have not sent these prophets! They are telling you lies in my name, so I will drive you from this land. You will all die—you and all these prophets, too.’”
