27:1 In
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
this
word
came
to
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD.
27:2 Thus
the
LORD
said
to
me:
"Make
yourself
straps
and
yoke-bars,
and
put
them
on
your
neck.
27:3 Send
word
to
the
king
of
Edom,
the
king
of
Moab,
the
king
of
the
sons
of
Ammon,
the
king
of
Tyre,
and
the
king
of
Sidon
by
the
hand
of
the
envoys
who
have
come
to
Jerusalem
to
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah.
27:4 Give
them
this
charge
for
their
masters:
'Thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
This
is
what
you
shall
say
to
your
masters:
27:5 "It
is
I
who
by
my
great
power
and
my
outstretched
arm
have
made
the
earth,
with
the
men
and
animals
that
are
on
the
earth,
and
I
give
it
to
whomever
it
seems
right
to
me.
27:6 Now
I
have
given
all
these
lands
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadnezzar,
the
king
of
Babylon,
my
servant,
and
I
have
given
him
also
the
beasts
of
the
field
to
serve
him.
27:7 All
the
nations
shall
serve
him
and
his
son
and
his
grandson,
until
the
time
of
his
own
land
comes.
Then
many
nations
and
great
kings
shall
make
him
their
slave.
27:8 "'"But
if
any
nation
or
kingdom
will
not
serve
this
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
put
its
neck
under
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
I
will
punish
that
nation
with
the
sword,
with
famine,
and
with
pestilence,
declares
the
LORD,
until
I
have
consumed
it
by
his
hand.
27:9 So
do
not
listen
to
your
prophets,
your
diviners,
your
dreamers,
your
fortune-tellers,
or
your
sorcerers,
who
are
saying
to
you,
'You
shall
not
serve
the
king
of
Babylon.'
27:10 For
it
is
a
lie
that
they
are
prophesying
to
you,
with
the
result
that
you
will
be
removed
far
from
your
land,
and
I
will
drive
you
out,
and
you
will
perish.
27:11 But
any
nation
that
will
bring
its
neck
under
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon
and
serve
him,
I
will
leave
on
its
own
land,
to
work
it
and
dwell
there,
declares
the
LORD."'"
27:12 To
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
I
spoke
in
like
manner:
"Bring
your
necks
under
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
serve
him
and
his
people
and
live.
27:13 Why
will
you
and
your
people
die
by
the
sword,
by
famine,
and
by
pestilence,
as
the
LORD
has
spoken
concerning
any
nation
that
will
not
serve
the
king
of
Babylon
27:14 Do
not
listen
to
the
words
of
the
prophets
who
are
saying
to
you,
'You
shall
not
serve
the
king
of
Babylon,'
for
it
is
a
lie
that
they
are
prophesying
to
you.
27:15 I
have
not
sent
them,
declares
the
LORD,
but
they
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."
27:16 Then
I
spoke
to
the
priests
and
to
all
this
people,
saying,
"Thus
says
the
LORD:
Do
not
listen
to
the
words
of
your
prophets
who
are
prophesying
to
you,
saying,
'Behold,
the
vessels
of
the
LORD's
house
will
now
shortly
be
brought
back
from
Babylon,'
for
it
is
a
lie
that
they
are
prophesying
to
you.
27:17 Do
not
listen
to
them;
serve
the
king
of
Babylon
and
live.
Why
should
this
city
become
a
desolation
27:18 If
they
are
prophets,
and
if
the
word
of
the
LORD
is
with
them,
then
let
them
intercede
with
the
LORD
of
hosts,
that
the
vessels
that
are
left
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
in
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah,
and
in
Jerusalem
may
not
go
to
Babylon.
27:19 For
thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts
concerning
the
pillars,
the
sea,
the
stands,
and
the
rest
of
the
vessels
that
are
left
in
this
city,
27:20 which
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
did
not
take
away,
when
he
took
into
exile
from
Jerusalem
to
Babylon
Jeconiah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
king
of
Judah,
and
all
the
nobles
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem--
27:21 thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
concerning
the
vessels
that
are
left
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
in
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah,
and
in
Jerusalem:
27:22 They
shall
be
carried
to
Babylon
and
remain
there
until
the
day
when
I
visit
them,
declares
the
LORD.
Then
I
will
bring
them
back
and
restore
them
to
this
place."
