Jeremiah 27:11

The Yoke of Nebuchadnezzar

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.”
