Jeremiah 29:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 29:17

15 Because you have said, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon”—

16 ^atherefore thus says the Lord concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, concerning all the people who dwell in this city, and concerning your brethren who have not gone out with you into captivity—

17 thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like ^arotten figs that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.

18 And I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence; and I ^awill deliver them to trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth—to be ^ba curse, an astonishment, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,

19 because they have not heeded My words, says the Lord, which ^aI sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; neither would you heed, says the Lord.

20 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, all you of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon.

21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a ^alie to you in My name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall slay them before your eyes.
