Jeremiah 27:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴Do not listen to and believe the words of the [false] prophets who are saying to you, You shall not serve the king of Babylon, for it is a lie that they prophesy to you.

¹⁵For I have not sent them, says the Lord; but they are prophesying falsely in My name. [It will only end when] I will drive you out to perish together with the [false] prophets who prophesy to you.

¹⁶Also I said to the priests and to all these people, Thus says the Lord: Do not listen to the words of your [false] prophets who are prophesying to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord’s house shall now shortly be brought ^[a]back from Babylon; for they are prophesying a lie to you.

Footnotes

Jeremiah 27:16 Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem three times. The second time was during the reign of Jeconiah (Jehoiachin or Coniah), whom he took captive with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem (Jer. 27:20), at which time he carried away some of the sacred vessels of the temple. The third siege was now imminent.
