Jeremiah 27: Jeremiah Wears a Yoke

Jeremiah wears a yoke as a sign that Judah and its neighbors must submit to Nebuchadnezzar, to whom God, the Creator of the earth, has handed these lands for a set time. He warns Zedekiah and the priests against prophets promising the temple treasures will soon return; the rest will go too, until God restores them.
