The Sign of the Yoke

27In the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah son of Josiah of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD.H7225H4467H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H1697H3414H3068H559 2Thus the LORD said to me: Make yourself a yoke of straps and bars, and put them on your neck.H559H3068H6213H4147H4133H5414H6677 3Send word to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the Ammonites, the king of Tyre, and the king of Sidon by the hand of the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to King Zedekiah of Judah.H7971H4428H123H4428H4124H4428H1121H5983H4428H6865H4428H6721H3027H4397H935H3389H6667H4428H3063 4Give them this charge for their masters: Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: This is what you shall say to your masters:H6680H559H113H559H3068H6635H430H3478H559H113 5It is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the people and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever I please.H6213H776H120H929H6440H776H1419H3581H5186H2220H5414H5869H3474 6Now I have given all these lands into the hand of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, my servant, and I have given him even the wild animals of the field to serve him.H5414H776H3027H5019H4428H894H5650H2416H7704H5414H5647 7All the nations shall serve him and his son and his grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great kings shall make him their slave.H1471H5647H1121H1121H1121H6256H776H935H7227H1471H1419H4428H5647 8But if any nation or kingdom will not serve this king, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, then I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, says the LORD, until I have completed its destruction by his hand.H1471H4467H5647H5019H4428H894H5414H6677H5923H4428H894H1471H6485H5002H3068H2719H7458H1698H8552H3027 9You, therefore, must not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon.'H8085H5030H7080H2472H6049H3786H559H559H5647H4428H894 10For they are prophesying a lie to you, with the result that you will be removed far from your land; I will drive you out, and you will perish.H5012H8267H7368H127H5080H6 11But any nation that will bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave on its own land, says the LORD, to till it and live there.H1471H935H6677H5923H4428H894H5647H3240H127H5002H3068H5647H3427 12I spoke to King Zedekiah of Judah in the same way: Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.H1696H6667H4428H3063H1697H559H935H6677H5923H4428H894H5647H5971H2421 13Why should you and your people die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as the LORD has spoken concerning any nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?H4191H5971H2719H7458H1698H3068H1696H1471H5647H4428H894 14Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are telling you not to serve the king of Babylon, for they are prophesying a lie to you.H8085H1697H5030H559H559H5647H4428H894H5012H8267 15I have not sent them, says the LORD, but they are prophesying falsely in my name, with the result that I will drive you out and you will perish, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.H7971H5002H3068H5012H8267H8034H5080H6H5030H5012 16Then I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says the LORD: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who are prophesying to you, saying, "The vessels of the LORD's house will soon be brought back from Babylon," for they are prophesying a lie to you.H1696H3548H5971H559H559H3068H8085H1697H5030H5012H559H3627H3068H1004H4120H7725H894H5012H8267 17Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live. Why should this city become a desolation?H8085H5647H4428H894H2421H5892H2723 18If indeed they are prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, then let them intercede with the LORD of hosts, that the vessels left in the house of the LORD, in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem may not go to Babylon.H5030H1697H3068H3426H6293H3068H6635H3627H3498H1004H3068H1004H4428H3063H3389H935H894 19For thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, the sea, the stands, and the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,H559H3068H6635H5982H3220H4350H3499H3627H3498H5892 20which King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon did not take away when he took into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon King Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim of Judah, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem—H5019H4428H894H3947H1540H3204H1121H3079H4428H3063H3389H894H2715H3063H3389 21thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels left in the house of the LORD, in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:H559H3068H6635H430H3478H3627H3498H1004H3068H1004H4428H3063H3389 22They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall stay, until the day when I give attention to them, says the LORD. Then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.H935H894H3117H6485H5002H3068H5927H7725H4725
