Read Jeremiah 27.12-22. The prophets of Judah also oppose the true word of God in a dispute about the Temple vessels. These sacred items had been deported to Babylon in 997 BCE, and the prophets expect them to be restored to Judah quickly, implying that Babylonian rule will not last long. Comments or Questions..

Lectio Divina
Try reading these verses each day in a Lectio Divina style.
That is a four fold reading of the scriptures.
Each time through read the scriptures out loud slowly.
The first time through listen for a word or a phrase or an image that speaks to you. (Lectio)
The second time reading the same scripture what questions or dialogue are emerging within you as you reflect on this scripture. (Meditatio).
In the third time through reading out loud see what prayer is starting to arise out of you as you ponder this text in your heart. (Oratio).
Now on the fourth time through this text just still in the quiet for a time and sink into the experience of these words in your heart. (Contempatio).
