Jeremiah 27:8-11

“ ‘ “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. So you should not listen to your prophets, diviners,  dreamers, fortune-tellers,  or sorcerers  who say to you, ‘Don’t serve the king of Babylon! ’ They are prophesying a lie  to you so that you will be removed from your land. I will banish you, and you will perish. But as for the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave it in its own land, and that nation will cultivate  it and reside in it. This is the Lord’s declaration.” ’ ”
