Jeremiah 27
27In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,H7225H4467H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H1697H3414H3068H5592Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck, / saith…: or, hath the LORD saidH559H3068H6213H4147H4133H5414H66773And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;H7971H4428H123H4428H4124H4428H1121H5983H4428H6865H4428H6721H3027H4397H935H3389H6667H4428H30634And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters; / to say…: or, concerning their masters, sayingH6680H559H113H559H3068H6635H430H3478H559H1135I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.H6213H776H120H929H6440H776H1419H3581H5186H2220H5414H5869H34746And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.H5414H776H3027H5019H4428H894H5650H2416H7704H5414H56477And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.H1471H5647H1121H1121H1121H6256H776H935H7227H1471H1419H4428H56478And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.H1471H4467H5647H5019H4428H894H5414H6677H5923H4428H894H1471H6485H5002H3068H2719H7458H1698H8552H30279Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: / dreamers: Heb. dreamsH8085H5030H7080H2472H6049H3786H559H559H5647H4428H89410For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.H5012H8267H7368H127H5080H611But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.H1471H935H6677H5923H4428H894H5647H3240H127H5002H3068H5647H342712I spake also to Zedekiah king 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.H1696H6667H4428H3063H1697H559H935H6677H5923H4428H894H5647H5971H242113Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?H4191H5971H2719H7458H1698H3068H1696H1471H5647H4428H89414Therefore 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.H8085H1697H5030H559H559H5647H4428H894H5012H826715For 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. / a lie: Heb. in a lie, or, lyinglyH7971H5002H3068H5012H8267H8034H5080H6H5030H501216Also 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'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.H1696H3548H5971H559H559H3068H8085H1697H5030H5012H559H3627H3068H1004H4120H7725H894H5012H826717Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?H8085H5647H4428H894H2421H5892H272318But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.H5030H1697H3068H3426H6293H3068H6635H3627H3498H1004H3068H1004H4428H3063H3389H935H89419For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,H559H3068H6635H5982H3220H4350H3499H3627H3498H589220Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;H5019H4428H894H3947H1540H3204H1121H3079H4428H3063H3389H894H2715H3063H338921Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;H559H3068H6635H430H3478H3627H3498H1004H3068H1004H4428H3063H338922They 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.H935H894H3117H6485H5002H3068H5927H7725H4725
