Jeremiah 27:12-14

Living Bible

¹² Jeremiah repeated all these prophecies to Zedekiah, king of Judah. “If you want to live, submit to the king of Babylon,” he said. ¹³ “Why do you insist on dying—you and your people? Why should you choose war and famine and disease, which the Lord has promised to every nation that will not submit to Babylon’s king? ¹⁴ Don’t listen to the false prophets who keep telling you the king of Babylon will not conquer you, for they are liars.
