Jeremiah 27:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ But suppose a nation surrenders to the king of Babylon and serves him. I will let it stay in its own land. People will farm the land and live on it,’ ” declares the Lord.

¹² I spoke the same message to King Zedekiah of Judah, “Surrender to the king of Babylon, serve him and his people, and you will stay alive. ¹³ Why should you and your people die in wars, famines, and plagues? The Lord has threatened the nations that don’t serve the king of Babylon.
