Jeremiah 27:12-15
Expanded Bible
12 I gave the same message to Zedekiah king of Judah. I said, “Put yourself under the ·control [L yoke] of the king of Babylon and serve him, and you will live. 13 Why should you and your people die from ·war [L sword], ·hunger [famine], or ·disease [pestilence], as the Lord said would happen to those who do not serve the king of Babylon? 14 But the prophets [C false prophets] are saying, ‘You will ·never be slaves to [L not serve] the king of Babylon.’ Don’t listen to them because they are prophesying lies to you! 15 ‘I did not send them,’ says the Lord. ‘They are prophesying lies ·and saying the message is from me [L in my name]. So I will ·send you away [drive you out; C said to Judah]. And you and those prophets who prophesy to you will ·die [perish; Deut. 18:21–22].’”

New American Standard Bible
12 I spoke words like all these to (A)Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him and his people, and live! 13 Why should you (B)die, you and your people, by the sword, famine, and plague, as the Lord has spoken to the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 14 So (C)do not listen to the words of the prophets who talk to you, saying, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying a (D)lie to you; 15 for (E)I have not sent them,” declares the Lord, “but they are (F)prophesying falsely in My name, so that I will (G)drive you away and that you will perish, (H)you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
