Jeremiah 27:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Then I spoke to the priests and all the prophets as follows: Thus says the Lord: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who say, “In a very short time, the vessels of the house of the Lord will be brought back from Babylon.” They are prophesying lies to you. ¹⁷ Refuse to listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and you will save your lives. Why should this city become a pile of ruins?

¹⁸ If they are truly prophets and the word of the Lord is really with them, then they should be pleading with the Lord of hosts that the vessels that remain in the house of the Lord, in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem will not be carried away to Babylon.
