The verse 14 is found in chapter 27 of Jeremiah. The message is also directed to Zedekiah, the priests, and the people: accepting the Babylonian yoke is presented as the way to preserve life. Prophets who announce the immediate return of the temple vessels are denounced. The time of restoration belongs to God and cannot be accelerated by human proclamations.

Darum gehorcht nicht den Worten der Propheten, die euch sagen: "Ihr werdet nicht dienen müssen dem König zu Babel!" Denn sie weissagen euch falsch,
No oigáis las palabras de los profetas que os hablan, diciendo: No serviréis al rey de Babilonia; porque os profetizan mentira.
No escuchen las palabras de los profetas que les dicen: “No servirán al rey de Babilonia”, porque les profetizan mentira.
N'écoutez pas les paroles des prophètes qui vous disent: Vous ne serez point asservis au roi de Babylone! Car c'est le mensonge qu'ils vous prophétisent.
E non ascoltate le parole de’ profeti che vi dicono: Voi non servirete al re di Babilonia; perciocchè essi vi profetizzano menzogna.
E não deis ouvidos às palavras dos profetas, que vos falam, dizendo: Não servireis ao rei de Babilônia; porque vos profetizam mentiras.
