Jeremiah 27:16-18

Lexham English Bible

The Vessels of the Temple

¹⁶ Then I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying,^[a] “Thus says Yahweh, ‘You must not listen to the words of your prophets who are prophesying to you, saying,^[b] “Look, the vessels of the house of Yahweh are about to be quickly brought back from Babylon”, for they are prophesying a lie to you. ¹⁷ And you must not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live. Why should this city become a site of ruins? ¹⁸ But if they are prophets, and if there is with them the word of Yahweh, let them please plead with Yahweh of hosts, that the vessels that are left over in the temple^[c] of Yahweh, and the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, must not go to Babylon.’
