Jeremiah 27:2-8

Jeremiah 27:2-8

[2] Thus saith  the LORD  to me; Make  thee bonds  and yokes,  and put  them upon thy neck,  [3] And send  them to the king  of Edom,  and to the king  of Moab,  and to the king  of the Ammonites,  and to the king  of Tyrus,  and to the king  of Zidon,  by the hand  of the messengers  which come  to Jerusalem  unto Zedekiah  king  of Judah;  [4] And command  them to say  unto their masters,  Thus saith  the LORD  of hosts,  the God  of Israel;  Thus shall ye say  unto your masters;  [5] I have made  the earth,  the man  and the beast  that are upon  the ground,  by my great  power  and by my outstretched  arm,  and have given  it unto whom it seemed  meet  [6] And now have I given  all these lands  into the hand  of Nebuchadnezzar  the king  of Babylon,  my servant;  and the beasts  of the field  have I given  him also to serve  him. [7] And all nations  shall serve  him, and his son,  until the very time  of his land  come:  and then many  nations  and great  kings  shall serve  themselves of him. [8] And it shall come to pass, that the nation  and kingdom  which will not serve  the same Nebuchadnezzar  the king  of Babylon,  and that will not put  their neck  under the yoke  of the king  of Babylon,  that nation  will I punish,  saith  the LORD,  with the sword,  and with the famine,  and with the pestilence,  until I have consumed  them by his hand.
