Jeremiah27:17

17 Hearken not unto them, serve the king of Babylon and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste ?

Believe them not, but satisfie your selves as to Gods Providence with respect to you, and be content to be subject to the King of Babylon, so may you have your lives for a prey; though you be straitned as to your accommodations and plenteous and splendid way of life, if you do not, your City will certainly be laid waste, and why should you pull such a judgment upon your own heads?
