Jeremiah 27:17

Jeremiah 27:17

Hearken not unto them
The false prophets: serve the king of Babylon, and live;
pay homage and tribute to him; which is the way to live in your own land, and enjoy the benefits of that, and of the temple worship; which, if not, you will be utterly deprived of: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
as it certainly will, should you rebel against the king of Babylon; and as it was in a few years after, when they did.
