Jeremiah 27:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ For I have not sent them, saith the Lord: and they prophesy in my name falsely: to drive you out, and that you may perish, both you, and the prophets that prophesy to you.

¹⁶ I spoke also to the priests, and to this people, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Hearken not to the words of your prophets, that prophesy to you, saying: Behold the vessels of the Lord shall now in a short time be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.

¹⁷ Therefore hearken not to them, but serve the king of Babylon, that you may live. Why should this city be given up to desolation?
