Jeremiah 27:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Now I have given all these lands to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant. I will make even the wild animals ·obey [^Lserve] him. ⁷ All nations will serve Nebuchadnezzar and his son and grandson. Then the time will come for Babylon to be defeated, and many nations and great kings will make Babylon their ·servant [or slave].

⁸ “‘ “But if some nations or kingdoms refuse to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and refuse to ·be under his control [^Lput their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon], I will punish them with ·war [^Lthe sword], ·hunger [famine], and ·terrible diseases [plague; pestilence], says the Lord. ·I will use Nebuchadnezzar to destroy them [^L…until I have completed its destruction by its hand].
