Jeremiah 27:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² I gave the same message to King Zedekiah of Judah. I told him, ‘Put the yoke of the king of Babylon around your neck. Agree to work for him and for his people. Then you will continue to live. ¹³ You and your people do not need to die. But war, famine or disease will destroy any nation that refuses to serve the king of Babylon. The Lord has said that this will happen. ¹⁴ So do not listen to the words of the prophets who say, “You will not have to serve the king of Babylon.” The things that they prophesy are lies.
