Jeremiah27:14
14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the King of Babylon: for they prophesie a lie unto you :
We shall find throughout all the Iewish story, that wicked Princes never wanted false Prophets, Ecclesiastical Ministers who would entitle God to what they spake in humour to their Governours. Such Ministers they would have, and usually they proved Fatal to them, so did Ahabs Prophets, that incouraged him to go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and Zedekiahs Prophets, who perswaded him not to submit to the King of Babylon; Jersmy perswades Zedekiah, not to hearken to them; that is, not to believe them, nor follow their advice; and he giveth him a good reason, because what they said was false.
