Jeremiah 27:11-13
Living Bible
11 But the people of any nation submitting to the king of Babylon will be permitted to stay in their own country and farm the land as usual.”
12 Jeremiah repeated all these prophecies to Zedekiah, king of Judah. “If you want to live, submit to the king of Babylon,” he said. 13 “Why do you insist on dying—you and your people? Why should you choose war and famine and disease, which the Lord has promised to every nation that will not submit to Babylon’s king?

Jeremiah 27:11-13
New International Version
11 But if any nation will bow its neck under the yoke(A) of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let that nation remain in its own land to till it and to live(B) there, declares the Lord.”’”
12 I gave the same message to Zedekiah king of Judah. I said, “Bow your neck under the yoke(C) of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and you will live.(D) 13 Why will you and your people die(E) by the sword, famine and plague(F) with which the Lord has threatened any nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
