Jeremiah 27:9

Jeremiah Uses Fetters And Yokes To Illustrate His Message Of Submission

⁸ And it will come about, that if any nation does not become a servant to this same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and does not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, then I will send punishment on that nation, says the Lord, by the sword and need of food and by disease, till I have given them into his hands. ⁹ And you are not to give attention to your prophets or your readers of signs or your dreamers or those who see into the future or those who make use of secret arts, who say to you, You will not become servants of the king of Babylon: ¹⁰ For they say false words to you, so that you may be sent away far from your land, and so that you may be forced out by me and come to destruction.
