Jeremiah 27:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 27:16

14 Therefore ^ado not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they prophesy ^ba lie to you;

15 for I have ^anot sent them,” says the Lord, “yet they prophesy a lie in My name, that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”

16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, “Behold, ^athe vessels of the Lord’s house will now shortly be brought back from Babylon”; for they prophesy a lie to you.

17 Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live! Why should this city be laid waste?

18 But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, do not go to Babylon.’

19 “For thus says the Lord of hosts ^aconcerning the pillars, concerning the Sea, concerning the carts, and concerning the remainder of the vessels that remain in this city,

20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away ^acaptive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem—

21 yes, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the ^avessels that remain in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem:

22 ‘They shall be ^acarried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day that I ^bvisit them,’ says the Lord. ‘Then ^cI will bring them up and restore them to this place.’ ”
