Jeremiah 27:1
|
|
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the
son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:2 |
|
Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and
yokes, 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 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; |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:4 |
|
And command them to say unto their masters,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters; |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:5 |
|
I 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. |
| |
|
|
| 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 have I given him also to serve him. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:7 |
|
And 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:8 |
|
And 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:9 |
|
Therefore 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: |
|
|
|
| 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 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:12 |
|
I 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:13 |
|
Why 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? |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:14 |
|
Therefore 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 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:16 |
|
Also 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:17 |
|
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon,
and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste? |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:18 |
|
But 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:19 |
|
For 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. |
| |
|
|
| 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 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; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 27:22 |
|
They 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. |
