I have even given him the wild animals to serve him. 7 All nations will serve him, his son, and his grandson until the time for his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their slave. 8 But any nation or kingdom that will not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon or place its neck under his yoke—I will punish that nation with sword, famine, and plague, declares the LORD, until I destroy it by his hand. 9 So do not listen to your prophets, diviners, dreamers, soothsayers, or sorcerers who say to you, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ 10 They are prophesying lies to you, and the result will be that I will drive you far from your land, and you will perish. 11 But the nation that willingly brings its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, I will let dwell on its land, declares the LORD, to work it and live on it.
