Jeremiah 27:1
|
|
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the
son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:2 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah to me: Make thee bonds and
bars, and put them upon thy neck; |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:3 |
|
and send them to the king of Edom, and to the
king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre,
and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers that come to Jerusalem
unto Zedekiah king of Judah; |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:4 |
|
and give them a charge unto their masters, saying,
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto your masters:
|
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:5 |
|
I have made the earth, the men and the beasts
that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched
arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto me. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:6 |
|
And now have I given all these lands into the
hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the
field also have I given him to serve him. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:7 |
|
And all the nations shall serve him, and his
son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations
and great kings shall make him their bondman. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:8 |
|
And it shall come to pass, that the nation and
the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and
that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation
will I punish, saith Jehovah, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the
pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:9 |
|
But as for you, hearken ye not to your prophets,
nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your
sorcerers, that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
|
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:10 |
|
for they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove
you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
|
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:11 |
|
But the nation that shall bring their neck under
the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation will I let remain
in their own land, saith Jehovah; and they shall till it, and dwell therein. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:12 |
|
And I spake 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. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:13 |
|
Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the
sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning
the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:14 |
|
And 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. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:15 |
|
For I have not sent them, saith Jehovah, but
they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that ye may perish,
ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:16 |
|
Also I spake to the priests and to all this
people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Hearken not to the words of your prophets
that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Jehovah's house shall now
shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie unto you. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:17 |
|
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon,
and live: wherefore should this city become a desolation? |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:18 |
|
But if they be prophets, and if the word of
Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts, that
the vessels which are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king
of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon. |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:19 |
|
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning
the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning
the residue of the vessels that are left in this city, |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:20 |
|
which 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; |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:21 |
|
yea, thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of
Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the
house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem: |
|
|
|
Jeremiah 27:22 |
|
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there
shall they be, until the day that I visit them, saith Jehovah; then will I bring
them up, and restore them to this place. |
