11 Things will go better for the nation that submits to the yoke of servitude to[a] the king of Babylon and is subject to him. I will leave that nation[b] in its native land. Its people can continue to farm it and live in it. I, the Lord, affirm it!”’”[c]

- Jeremiah 27:11 tn Heb “oracle of the Lord.”
