Thus said the Lord: Make bonds and yokes, and put them around your neck.

ἀποστελεῖς αὐτοὺς πρὸς βασιλέα Ιδουμαίας καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα Μωαβ καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα υἱῶν Αμμων καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα Τύρου καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα Σιδῶνος ἐν χερσὶν ἀγγέλων αὐτῶν τῶν ἐρχομένων εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῶν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ πρὸς Σεδεκιαν βασιλέα Ιουδα
And you shall send them to the king of Idumea and to the king of Moab and to the king of the sons of Ammon and to the king of Tyre and to the king of Sidon by the hand of their messengers, who are coming to meet them at Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah
συντάξεις αὐτοῖς πρὸς τοὺς κυρίους αὐτῶν εἰπεῖν οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ οὕτως ἐρεῖτε πρὸς τοὺς κυρίους ὑμῶν
And you shall say to them, concerning their masters, saying, Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Thus shall you say to your masters.
ἐγὼ ἐποίησα τὴν γῆν ἐν τῇ ἰσχύι μου τῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐπιχείρῳ μου τῷ ὑψηλῷ καὶ δώσω αὐτὴν ᾧ ἐὰν δόξῃ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου
For I made the land by my great strength and by my exalted effort, and I will give it to whomever it seems good in my eyes to give it
I gave the land to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to serve him, and the beasts of the field to labor for him
τὸ ἔθνος καὶ ἡ βασιλεία ὅσοι ἐὰν μὴ ἐμβάλωσιν τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν ὑπὸ τὸν ζυγὸν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος ἐν μαχαίρᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ ἐπισκέψομαι αὐτούς εἶπεν κύριος ἕως ἐκλίπωσιν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ
And the nation and the kingdom, whoever do not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will visit them with sword and with famine, says the Lord, until they fail by his hand.
ὑμεῖς μὴ ἀκούετε τῶν ψευδοπροφητῶν ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν μαντευομένων ὑμῖν καὶ τῶν ἐνυπνιαζομένων ὑμῖν καὶ τῶν οἰωνισμάτων ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν φαρμακῶν ὑμῶν τῶν λεγόντων οὐ μὴ ἐργάσησθε τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος
And you, do not listen to your false prophets and to those divining for you and to those dreaming dreams for you and to your omens and to your sorceries, who are saying, You shall by no means serve the king of Babylon.
For they are prophesying falsehood to you, in order to remove you far from your land.
τὸ ἔθνος ὃ ἐὰν εἰσαγάγῃ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ ὑπὸ τὸν ζυγὸν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐργάσηται αὐτῷ καὶ καταλείψω αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐργᾶται αὐτῷ καὶ ἐνοικήσει ἐν αὐτῇ
And the nation which would bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, and I will leave him on his land, and he shall serve him, and he shall dwell in it
πρὸς Σεδεκιαν βασιλέα Ιουδα ἐλάλησα κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους λέγων εἰσαγάγετε τὸν τράχηλον ὑμῶν
And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke according to all these words, saying, Bring in your necks
and serve the king of Babylon, for they themselves are prophesying unjustly to you
οὐκ ἀπέστειλα αὐτούς φησὶν κύριος καὶ προφητεύουσιν τῷ ὀνόματί μου ἐπ᾿ ἀδίκῳ πρὸς τὸ ἀπολέσαι ὑμᾶς καὶ ἀπολεῖσθε ὑμεῖς καὶ οἱ προφῆται ὑμῶν οἱ προφητεύοντες ὑμῖν ἐπ᾿ ἀδίκῳ ψευδῆ
For I did not send them, says the Lord, and they prophesy in my name falsely, in order to destroy you; and you shall be destroyed, you and your prophets who prophesy to you falsely.
καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἐλάλησα λέγων οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος μὴ ἀκούετε τῶν λόγων τῶν προφητῶν τῶν προφητευόντων ὑμῖν λεγόντων ἰδοὺ σκεύη οἴκου κυρίου ἐπιστρέψει ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος ὅτι ἄδικα αὐτοὶ προφητεύουσιν ὑμῖν οὐκ ἀπέστειλα αὐτούς
To you and to all this people and to the priests I spoke, saying, Thus said the Lord: Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord will return from Babylon, for they themselves prophesy unjustly to you; I did not send them.
If they are prophets and if there is a word of the Lord in them, let them meet me.
For thus said the Lord concerning the rest of the vessels
whom the king of Babylon did not take when he deported Jeconiah from Jerusalem
Into Babylon it shall enter, says the Lord.
