Yeremia 27:14-15

27:14 Do not listen to the prophets who are telling you that you do not need to serve ¹  the king of Babylon. For they are prophesying lies to you. 27:15 For I, the Lord, affirm ²  that I did not send them. They are prophesying lies to you. If you ³  listen to them, I will drive you and the prophets who are prophesying lies out of the land and you will all die in exile.” ⁴ 

[27:14]  ¹ tn The verb in this context is best taken as a negative obligatory imperfect. See IBHS 508 §31.4g for discussion and examples. See Exod 4:15 as an example of positive obligation.

[27:15]  ² tn Heb “oracle of the Lord.”

[27:15]  ³ sn The verbs are again plural referring to the king and his royal advisers.

[27:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “…drive you out and you will perish, you and the prophets who are prophesying lies.”

[27:15]  sn For the fulfillment of this prophecy see Jer 39:5-7; 52:7-11; 2 Kgs 25:4-7.
