Jeremiah 27 (NIV)

Through Jeremiah, God is telling the people of Jerusalem to accept their lot and to come under the rule of Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon. Jere miah had wanred them to change their ways or they would face consequences. They had not changed their ways and, now that consequences were imminent, they were also not wanting to give in to those consequences. Much like we also often refuse to surrender to God and the power He holds in our lives.
