NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² I spoke the same message to King Zedekiah of Judah: »Surrender to the king of Babylon, serve him and his people, and you will stay alive. ¹³ »Why should you and your people die in wars, famines, and plagues? Jehovah has threatened the nations that do not serve the king of Babylon. ¹⁴ »Do not listen to the prophets who tell you, ‘You will never serve the king of Babylon.’ They prophesy lies to you. ¹⁵ »I did not send them,« declares Jehovah. »They prophesy lies in my name. So I will scatter you, and you and the prophets will die.’«
