17 Don't listen to them! Submit to the king of Babylonia and you will live! Why should this city become a pile of ruins?

18 If they are really prophets and if they have my message, let them ask me, the Lord Almighty, not to allow the treasures that remain in the Temple and in the royal palace to be taken to Babylonia."
