Jeremiah 27:12-15

12 To ^aZedekiah king of Judah I spoke in like manner: ^b“Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and ^cserve him and his people and live. 13 ^dWhy will you and your people die ^eby the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, ^fas the Lord has spoken concerning any nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 14 ^gDo not listen to the words of the prophets who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon,’ ^hfor it is a lie that they are prophesying to you. 15 I have not sent them, declares the Lord, but ⁱthey are prophesying falsely in my name, with the result that I will drive you out and you will perish, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.”
