Jeremiah 27:8, 13

“ ‘ “As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and does not place its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish by sword, famine, and plague — this is the LORD’s declaration — until through him I have destroyed it.

Why should you and your people die  by the sword, famine, and plague as the LORD has threatened against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
