Jeremiah 27:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ Also, I spoke to the priests, and to all this people, saying, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Do not hear the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, “Behold, the vessels of the House of the LORD shall now shortly be brought back from Babel.” For they prophesy a lie to you.

¹⁷ ‘Do not hear them! Serve the king of Babel, so that you may live! Why should this city be desolate?

¹⁸ ‘But if they are Prophets, and if the Word of the LORD is with them, let them make intercession to the LORD of Hosts, so that the vessels which are left in the House of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, do not go to Babel.’
