remain in their own land, says Yahweh; and they shall till it,
and dwell therein.
027:012 I spoke 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.
027:013 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine,
and by the pestilence, as Yahweh has spoken concerning
the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
027:014 Don't listen to the words of the prophets who speak
to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon;
for they prophesy a lie to you.
027:015 For I have not sent them, says Yahweh, but they prophesy
falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you
may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.
027:016 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying,
Thus says Yahweh: Don't listen to the words of your prophets
who prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Yahweh's
house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon;
for they prophesy a lie to you.
027:017 Don't listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live:
why should this city become a desolation?
027:018 But if they be prophets, and if the word of Yahweh be with them,

and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning
the residue of the vessels that are left in this city,
027:020 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn't take,
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;
027:021 yes, thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel,
concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Yahweh,
and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:
027:022 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be,
until the day that I visit them, says Yahweh; then will I
bring them up, and restore them to this place.
028:001 It happened the same year, in the beginning of the reign of
Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month,
that Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon,
spoke to me in the house of Yahweh, in the presence of the priests
and of all the people, saying,
028:002 Thus speaks Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, saying, I have
