24:027:008 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
24:027:009 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
24:027:010 For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
24:027:011 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
24:027:012 I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these
words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of
Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
24:027:013 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the
famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against
the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
24:027:014 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that
speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of
Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
24:027:015 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a
lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might
perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
24:027:016 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
24:027:017 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
