Jeremiah 27:12-13

12 To a Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke in like manner: b Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and c serve him and his people and live. 13  d Why will you and your people die e by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence f as the  Lord has spoken concerning any nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
