Jeremiah 27:6-11
6“Now I ahave given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, bMy servant, and I have given him also the cwild animals of the field to serve him. 7 d“All the nations shall serve him and his son and his grandson euntil the time of his own land comes; then fmany nations and great kings will ▼▼ Or enslave him
make him their servant. 8“It will be, that the nation or the kingdom which hwill not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and which will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the isword, with famine and with pestilence,” declares the Lord, “until I have destroyed ▼▼ Lit them
it by his hand. 9“But as for you, kdo not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your ▼▼ Lit dreams
dreamers, your soothsayers or your sorcerers who speak to you, saying, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ 10“For they prophesy a mlie to you in order to nremove you far from your land; and I will drive you out and you will perish. 11“But the nation which will obring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will plet remain on its land,” declares the Lord, “and they will till it and dwell in it.”’”
