Jeremiah 27:12-15
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.”

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.”
