Listen to Geremia 27:16
16 Io parlai eziandio a’ sacerdoti, ed a tutto questo popolo, dicendo: Così ha detto il Signore: Non attendete alle parole de’ vostri profeti che vi profetizzano, dicendo: Ecco, ora prestamente saranno riportati di Babilonia gli arredi della Casa del Signore; perciocchè essi vi profetizzano menzogna.

Geremia 27:16 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:16

Also I spake to the priests, and to all this people, saying,
&c.] From the court he went to the temple, and spoke to the priests that were ministering there, and to all the people that were assembled for divine worship; either at the ordinary time of it, or at some one of the solemn feasts: this was a proper time and place to meet with the people and the priests; which latter especially had a concern in what he had to say concerning the vessels of the temple: thus saith the Lord, hearken not to the words of your prophets that
prophesy unto you:
your false prophets, as the Targum: saying;
as follows: behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall now shortly be brought
again from Babylon;
which were carried thither, both in the times of Jehoiakim, and of Jeconiah, ( 2 Chronicles 36:7 2 Chronicles 36:10 ) ; these the false prophets gave out would in a short time be returned; that the king of Babylon, either willingly and of his own accord, or being pressed or forced to it, would send them back; so little reason had they to fear an invasion from him, or captivity by him: for they prophesy a lie unto you;
that which is false, and will never be accomplished, at least in any short time.

Geremia 27:16 In-Context

14 E non ascoltate le parole de’ profeti che vi dicono: Voi non servirete al re di Babilonia; perciocchè essi vi profetizzano menzogna.
15 Conciossiachè io non li abbia mandati, dice il Signore; ma profetizzano in Nome mio falsamente; acciocchè io vi scacci, e periate, voi e i profeti che vi profetizzano.
16 Io parlai eziandio a’ sacerdoti, ed a tutto questo popolo, dicendo: Così ha detto il Signore: Non attendete alle parole de’ vostri profeti che vi profetizzano, dicendo: Ecco, ora prestamente saranno riportati di Babilonia gli arredi della Casa del Signore; perciocchè essi vi profetizzano menzogna.
17 Non li ascoltate; servite al re di Babilonia, e voi viverete; perchè sarebbe questa città messa in desolazione?
18 Che se pure eglino son profeti, e se la parola del Signore è appo loro, intercedano ora appo il Signor degli eserciti, che quegli arredi che son rimasti nella Casa del Signore, e nella casa del re di Giuda, e in Gerusalemme, non vadano in Babilonia.
