Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah) — Perek 27

Yirmiyahu wears a wooden yoke, telling the surrounding nations and Yehudah to submit to Bavel.

Hashem commands Yirmiyahu to make a wooden yoke and wear it on his neck. He sends messages to the surrounding nations (Edom, Moav, Amon, Tzor, Tzidon) and to King Tzidkiyahu, declaring that Hashem has given dominion to Nevuchadnetzar. They are warned not to listen to false prophets and diviners, and are told that submitting to Bavel is the only way to survive.
