Jeremiah 27:6-11
6 So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant(A) Nebuchadnezzar,(B) king of Babylon. I have even given him the wild animals to serve him.
7 All nations will serve him, his son, and his grandson until the time for his own land comes, and then many nations and great kings will enslave him.(C)
8 “As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does not place its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish by sword, famine, and plague”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“until through him I have destroyed it.
9 But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, diviners,(D) dreamers, fortune-tellers,(E) or sorcerers(F) who say to you, ‘Don’t serve the king of Babylon!’
10 for they prophesy a lie to you so that you will be removed from your land. 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.
