Jeremiah 27:2-7 Thus said the Lord to me, Make for thyself bands and yoke-bars, and put them around thy neck,

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Thus said the Lord to me, Make for thyself bands and yoke-bars, and put them around thy neck, ³ And send such to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of ‘Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by means of the messengers who come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah the king of Judah; ⁴ And thou shalt charge them unto their masters, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto your masters, ⁵ It is I who have made the earth, the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I have given it unto the one who seemeth proper in my eyes. ⁶ And now it is I who have given all these countries into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and also the beasts of the field have I given him to serve him. ⁷ And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his land is also come in its turn: when many nations and great kings shall make it serve.
