RF JER 27:1 Jeremiah Ordered to Wear Fetters.
A message to the Nations.

In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah-ben-Joshiah,2 king of Judah, this message came to Jeremiah from the LORD to speak.
RF JER 27:2 The EVER-LIVING commanded me thus,—"Make fetters for yourself, and open and put them on your neck;
RF JER 27:3 then send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and the king of Beni-Amon, and to the king of Tzur, and the king of Zidon, by the hand of their ambassadors who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah, king of Judah,
RF JER 27:4 and command them to say to their masters,—' Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, the GOD of Israel Say to your masters,
RF JER 27:5 I made the earth, mankind, and the animals that are upon the face of the earth, by My great power, and I give it to whoever is upright in My sight.'
RF JER 27:6 So now I have given the whole of these countries to the hand of Nebukhadnezzar, king of Babel, My servant: and I have given him also the animals of the field for his service,
RF JER 27:7 and they shall serve him, and his son, and his grandson, until the period of his own country has come;—when many nations and great kings shall make him serve!
RF JER 27:8 And to the nation or kingdom that will not serve him,—Nebukhadnezzar, king of Babel,—and that will not give its neck to the yoke of the king of Babel, I will bring punishment upon that nation by sword, and famine, and plague," says the EVER-LIVING, "until I have subdued them to his power."
RF JER 27:9 And for yourselves, listen not to your preachers, and your diviners, and your dreamers, and cloud-readers, and to your magicians who tell you that you will not serve the king of Babel,
RF JER 27:10 for those Preachers lie to you, because you will be expelled from your soil, and reduced, and destroyed.
RF JER 27:11 But the nation that brings its neck it to the yoke of the king of Babel, and serves him, shall rest quietly on its own soil," says the EVER-LIVING, "and use it and reside on it."
RF JER 27:12 Advice to Zedekiah to Submit to Babel.
To Zedekiah, king of Judah, also deliver all these messages and say:—"Let you and your people bring your necks to the yoke of the king of Babel,—and live.
RF JER 27:13 Why should you die? you, and your people by sword, famine, and plague? as the EVER-LIVING has threatened to the nations which will not serve the king of Babel?
RF JER 27:14 Do not listen to the speeches of the Preachers who promise you, asserting—' You need not serve the king of Babel,' for those Preachers lie to you!
RF JER 27:15 I, certainly, have not sent them," says the EVER-LIVING, "but they preach falsely in My NAME, because I shall subdue you, and ruin you, and the Preachers who preach to you."
RF JER 27:16 The Message to the Priests.
To the priests, also, and all this people I spoke and said: Thus says the LORD:—"Listen not to the messages of the Preachers who preach to you, and assert: The furniture of the House of the EVER-LIVING will be returned from Babel now, very soon,'—for those Preachers lie to you.
RF JER 27:17 Do not listen to them Serve the king of Babel, and live. Why should this city become a ruin?
RF JER 27:18 But if they are prophets, and if the message of the EVER-LIVING is with them,—let them at once pray to the LORD OF HOSTS not to allow the remaining furniture of the House of the EVER-LIVING, and of the king of Judah's palace, and in Jerusalem, to go to Babel.
RF JER 27:19 "For thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, to the columns, and to the sea, and to its bases, and to the other furniture remaining in this city,
RF JER 27:20 which Nebukhadnezzar king of Babel, did not take when he transported Jechoniah-ben-Jhoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babel, with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem,—
RF JER 27:21 Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, the GOD of Israel, to the remaining furniture of the House of the EVER-LIVING, and the palace of the king of Judah and Jerusalem:—
RF JER 27:22 they shall go to Babel, and shall be there until the time that I appoint for them," says the EVER-LIVING, "to be brought up and returned to this place."

2 In the ordinary text it is Jehoiakim, by a scribe's error—but Zedekiah in the original reading.—F.F.
