Jeremiah 27:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² I said the same thing to King Zedekiah of Judah, “Submit to the king of Babylonia. Serve him and his people, and you will live. ¹³ Why should you and your people die in war or of starvation or disease? That is what the Lord has said will happen to any nation that does not submit to the king of Babylonia. ¹⁴ Do not listen to the prophets who tell you not to surrender to him. They are deceiving you.
