⁶ⁱNow I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ^jmy servant, ^kand I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him. ⁷^lAll the nations shall serve him and ^mhis son and ⁿhis grandson, ^ountil the time of his own land comes. ^pThen many nations and great kings shall make him their slave.

⁸“ ‘ “But if any nation or kingdom will not serve this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, ^qand put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation ^rwith the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, declares the Lord, until I have consumed it by his hand. ⁹So ^sdo not listen to your ^tprophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your ^ufortune-tellers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’ ¹⁰^vFor it is a lie that they are prophesying to you, with the result that you will be removed far from your land, and I will drive you out, and you will perish. ¹¹^wBut any nation that will bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave on its own land, to work it and dwell there, declares the Lord.” ’ ”
