Jeremiah 27 📜 📕 ↷
9 You therefore hear not your Prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, that say to you: You shall not serve the king of Babylon.📜💬📚
10 Because they prophesy lies unto you: that they may make you far from your country, & cast you out, and you perish.📜💬📚
11 But the nation, that shall submit their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and shall serve him, the same will I let alone in their own land, saith our Lord: and they shall husband it, and dwell in it.📜💬📚
12 And to Sedecias the king of Juda, I have spoken according to all these words, saying: Submit your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, and his people, and you shall live.📜💬📚
13 Why will you die, thou and thy people with the sword, and famine, & the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken to the nation, that will not serve the king of Babylon?📜💬📚
14 Hear not the words of the Prophets that say to you: You shall not serve the king of Babylon: because they speak a lie to you.📜💬📚
15 Because I sent them not, saith our Lord: & they prophesy in my name falsely: that they may cast you out, & you perish, as well you, as the Prophets that prophesy unto you.📜💬📚
16 And to the Priests, and to this people I have spoken, saying: Thus saith our Lord. Hear not the words of your Prophets, that prophesy to you, saying: Behold the vessels of our Lord shall return out of Babylon even now quickly, for they prophesy a lie unto you.📜💬📚
17 Therefore hear them not, but serve the king of Babylon, that you may live. Why is this city given into desolation?📜💬📚
18 And if they be Prophets, and the word of our Lord be in them: let them interpose themselves before the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which were left in the house of our Lord, & in the house of the king of Juda, and in Jerusalem, come not into Babylon.📜💬📚
