SCRIPTURE

"But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that [nation] will I let remain in their own land, saith Jehovah; and they shall till it, and dwell therein." — Jeremiah 27:11 (ASV)

But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him That at once, and readily, submit unto him, and pay him tribute: those will I let remain still in their own land, says the Lord ; undisturbed by any other enemy; peaceably dwelling in their own habitations; following their occupations and business of life; and enjoying their substance and estates, only paying the tax imposed on them: and they shall cultivate it, and dwell in it ; manure and cultivate it, and gather and eat the fruit of it, and continue to do so, they and their posterity after them.
