Book 24 : JEREMIAH - Chapter 027
027:001
Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put
them upon thy neck
027:002
And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab,
and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus,
and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which
come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah
027:003
And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the
LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your
masters
027:004
I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the
ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have
given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me
027:005
And now have I given all these lands into the hand of
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts
of the field have I given him also to serve him
027:006
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's
son, until the very time of his land come: and then many
nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him
027:007
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
027:008
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
027:009
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
027:010
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
027:011
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
027:012
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
027:013
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
027:014
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
027:015
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
027:016
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live:
wherefore should this city be laid waste
027:017
But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with
them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts,
that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and
in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to
Babylon
027:018
For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and
concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning
the residue of the vessels that remain in this city
027:019
Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried
away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from
Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and
Jerusalem
027:020
Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,
concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD,
and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem
027:021
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be
until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I
bring them up, and restore them to this place
