14 So (A)do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they prophesy a (B)lie to you; 15 for (C)I have not sent them,” declares the Lord, “but they (D)prophesy falsely in My name, in order that I may (E)drive you out and that you may perish, (F)you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
16 Then 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 prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the (G)vessels of the Lord’s house will now shortly be brought again from Babylon’; for they are prophesying a (H)lie to you. 17 Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live! Why should this city (I)become a ruin?
