Jeremiah 27:9

Jeremiah Uses Fetters And Yokes To Illustrate His Message Of Submission

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, dreamers, fortune-tellers, or sorcerers 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.
