[9] Therefore hearken  not ye to your prophets,  nor to your diviners,  nor to your dreamers,  nor to your enchanters,  nor to your sorcerers,  which speak  Ye shall not serve  the king  of Babylon:  [10] For they prophesy  a lie  unto you, to remove you far  from your land;  and that I should drive you out,  and ye should perish.
