12 I spake also to Zedekiahking of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live. 13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORDhath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? 14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you. 15 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.27.15 a lie: Heb. in a lie, or, lyingly16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD’shouse shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you. 17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste? 18 But if they beprophets, and if the word of the LORDbe with them, let them now make intercession to the LORDof hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and inthe house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
19 For thus saith the LORDof hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city, 20 Which Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylontook not, when he carried away captive Jeconiahthe son of Jehoiakimking of Judah from Jerusalemto Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; 21 Yea, thus saith the LORDof hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain inthe house of the LORD, and inthe house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem; 22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
