Jeremiah 27:15
"Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you."
Key Reflection
This passage warns against heeding false prophecies that seek to incite rebellion against Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, during Israel's captivity. Such prophecies are deemed lies because they ignore God’s sovereign will and promise to use Babylon as a means of discipline and eventual redemption for the people.
