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.

16 Then I said to the priests and all these people, “This is what the Lord says: Do not listen to the prophets who say, ‘Very soon now the articles(A) from the Lord’s house will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying lies to you. 17 Do not listen(B) to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and you will live.(C) Why should this city become a ruin? 18 If they are prophets and have the word of the Lord, let them plead(D) with the Lord Almighty that the articles remaining in the house of the Lord and in the palace of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem not be taken to Babylon.
