Jeremiah 17:27
17:27 But you must obey me and set the Sabbath day apart to me. You must not carry any loads in through
the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. If you disobey, I will set the gates of Jerusalem on fire. It will burn down all the fortified dwellings in Jerusalem and no one will be able to put it out.’”

Jeremiah 27:8-10
27:8 But suppose a nation or a kingdom will not be subject to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Suppose it will not submit to the yoke of servitude to
him. I, the
Lord, affirm that
I will punish that nation. I will use the king of Babylon to punish it
with war,
starvation, and disease until I have destroyed it.
27:9 So do not listen to your prophets or to those who claim to predict the future by divination,
by dreams, by consulting the dead,
or by practicing magic. They keep telling you, ‘You do not need to be
subject to the king of Babylon.’
27:10 Do not listen to them,
because their prophecies are lies.
Listening to them will only cause you
to be taken far away from your native land. I will drive you out of your country and you will die in exile.

37:8 Then the Babylonian forces
will return. They will attack the city and will capture it and burn it down.
37:9 Moreover, I, the
Lord, warn you not to deceive yourselves into thinking that the Babylonian forces
will go away and leave you alone. For they will not go away.
37:10 For even if you were to defeat all the Babylonian forces
fighting against you so badly that only wounded men were left lying in their tents, they would get up and burn this city down.”’”
