12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah using words like these: "Bring your neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon. Serve him and his people, and you will live!
13 "Why should you and your people die in wars, famines, and plagues? the LORD has threatened the nations that do not serve the king of Babylon.
14 Don't listen to the words of the prophets who say to you, 'You won't serve the king of Babylon. Indeed, they're prophesying a lie to you.
15 For I have not sent them," declares the LORD, "but they are prophesying in my name falsely, so that I will drive them away. And you will perish—you and the prophets who are prophesying to you."
16 I also spoke this message to the priests and all the people. This is what the LORD said to me: "Do not listen to the prophets who tell you that the utensils of the LORD's Temple will be brought back from Babylon soon. They prophesy lies to you."
17 Don't listen to them! Serve the king of Babylon and you'll live. Why should this city become a ruin?
18 But if they are prophets, and if the Word of the LORD is with them, let them now pray to the LORD Almighty, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.
19 For this is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says about the pillars, the bronze sea, the stands, and the rest of the vessels that remain in this city
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he exiled Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
21 For thus says the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
22 "They will be carried to Babylon and they will be there until the day I visit them," declares the LORD. "Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place."’"
