Basic HTML Version
ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your
sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
10
For they prophesy
a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should
perish.
11
But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve
him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the L
ORD
; and they shall till it, and dwell
therein.
12
I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks
under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13
Why will ye die,
thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the L
ORD
hath spoken
against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14
Therefore hearken not unto the words
of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy
a lie unto you.
15
For I have not sent them, saith the L
ORD
, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that
I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
16
Also
I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the L
ORD
; Hearken not to the words
of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the L
ORD
’S house shall now
shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
17
Hearken not unto them;
serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
18
But if they
be
prophets, and if the word of the L
ORD
be with them, let them now make intercession to the L
ORD
of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the L
ORD
, and
in
the house of the king of
Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
19
For thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning
the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
20
Which Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of
Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
21
Yea, thus saith the
L
ORD
of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain
in
the house of the L
ORD
, and
in
the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
22
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there
shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the L
ORD
; then will I bring them up, and restore
them to this place.
CHAPTER 28
And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the
fourth year,
and
in the fifth month,
that
Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which
was
of Gibeon,
spake unto me in the house of the L
ORD
, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
2
Thus speaketh the L
ORD
of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of
Babylon.
3
Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the L
ORD
’S
house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:
