Jeremiah 27:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² I also spoke to Zedekiah, king of Judah, according to all these words, saying, “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babel, and serve him and his people, so that you may live.

¹³ “Why will you die — you and your people — by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babel?

¹⁴ “Therefore, do not hear the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babel.’ For they prophesy a lie to you.
