Jeremiah 27:9

Jeremiah Uses Fetters And Yokes To Illustrate His Message Of Submission

⁸ Suppose nations or kingdoms will not serve or surrender to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I will punish those nations by wars, famines, and plagues, until I have put an end to them by Nebuchadnezzar's power, says Jehovah. ⁹ But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your soothsayers or your sorcerers who speak to you, saying, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ ¹⁰ They prophesy lies to you. They will cause you to be taken far from your lands. I will scatter you, and you will die.
