Jeremiah 27:10

The Yoke of Nebuchadnezzar

9But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’10For they prophesy to you a lie that will serve to remove you from your land; I will banish you and you will perish.11But the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and reside in it, declares the LORD.”
