Jeremiah 27:12-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Warning to Zedekiah
12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah(A) in the same way: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, serve him and his people, and live! 13 Why should you and your people die(B) by the sword, famine, or plague as the Lord has threatened against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon? 14 Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are telling you, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying a lie to you.(C) 15 ‘I have not sent them’—this is the Lord’s declaration—‘and they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore, I will banish you, and you will perish—you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.’”

Jeremiah 27:12-15
Lexham English Bible
12 And I spoke words like these to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, saying,[a] “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? 14 And you must not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying,[b] ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying a lie to you. 15 For I have not sent them,” declares[c] Yahweh, “but they are prophesying in my name falsely,[d] so that I will drive them away. And you will perish—you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
