Jeremiah 27:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ But the false prophets are saying, ‘You will never be slaves to the king of Babylon.’

“Don’t listen to those prophets, because they are telling you lies. ¹⁵ ‘I didn’t send them,’ says the Lord. ‘They are telling lies and saying that the message is from me. So I will send you people of Judah away. You will die, and the prophets who spoke to you will die also.’”

¹⁶ Then I told the priests and all the people that this is what the Lord says: “Those false prophets are saying, ‘The Babylonians took many things from the Lord’s Temple. These things will be brought back soon.’ Don’t listen to them because they are telling you lies.
