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 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 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 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
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 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 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 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
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 17 Hearken not unto them serve the king of Babylon and live wherefore should this city be laid waste 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 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 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 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 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
