Jeremiah 27 · Grade 3
Serve and Live
Read the Story
Kings from nearby nations sent messengers to King Zedekiah in Jerusalem. God told Jeremiah to make bonds and bars and put them on his neck. Then he sent a message to those kings.
God said he made the earth, the people, and the animals by his great power. He gives the earth to whom he chooses. For a time, God had given the lands to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
God said the nations that served the king of Babylon could stay in their own land. They would till it and dwell in it. Jeremiah told Zedekiah not to listen to prophets who said otherwise. Serve the king of Babylon, and live.
