Jeremiah 27:16
27:16 I also told the priests and all the people, “The Lord says, ‘Do not listen to what your prophets are saying. They are prophesying to you that the valuable articles taken from the Lord’s temple will be brought back from Babylon very soon. But they are prophesying a lie to you.
Jeremiah 34:17
34:17 So I, the
Lord, say: “You have not really obeyed me and granted freedom to your neighbor and fellow countryman.
Therefore, I will grant you freedom, the freedom
to die in war, or by starvation or disease. I, the
Lord, affirm it!
I will make all the kingdoms of the earth horrified at what happens to you.
Jeremiah 40:5
40:5 Before Jeremiah could turn to leave, the captain of the guard added, “Go back
to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon appointed to govern
the towns of Judah. Go back and live with him
among the people. Or go wherever else you choose.” Then the captain of the guard gave Jeremiah some food and a present and let him go.
