Open this scene in the reader →

12And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke all these words, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.”

13Why will you and your people die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, just as the LORD has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

14And do not listen to the words of the prophets who are saying to you, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying a lie to you.

15For I did not send them, declares Yahweh, and they are prophesying falsely in my name, so that I may drive you out, and you will perish—you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.
