I will banish you, and you will perish. 11 But as for the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave it in its own land, and that nation will cultivate[a] it and reside in it.” This is the Lord’s declaration.

  1. Jeremiah 27:11 Lit work

So do not listen to your prophets,(A) your diviners,(B) your interpreters of dreams,(C) your mediums(D) or your sorcerers(E) who tell you, ‘You will not serve(F) the king of Babylon.’ 10 They prophesy lies(G) to you that will only serve to remove(H) you far from your lands; I will banish you and you will perish. 11 But if any nation will bow its neck under the yoke(I) of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let that nation remain in its own land to till it and to live(J) there, declares the Lord.”’”
