Jeremiah 27:7 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Jeremiah 27:7

5 ^a‘I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and ^bhave given it to whom it seemed proper to Me.

6 ^aAnd now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, ^bMy servant; and ^cthe beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him.

7 ^aSo all nations shall serve him and his son and his son’s son, ^buntil the time of his land comes; ^cand then many nations and great kings shall make him serve them.

8 And it shall be, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and which will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish,’ says the Lord, ‘with the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

9 Therefore do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your¹ dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon.”

10 For they prophesy a ^alie to you, to remove you far from your land; and I will drive you out, and you will perish.

Nebuchadnezzar had four successors—Evil-merodach, his son; Neriglissar, husband of Nebuchadnezzar's daughter; his son, Labosodarchod; and Naboned (with whom his son, Belshazzar, was joint king), son of Evil-merodach. But Neriglissar and Labosodarchod were not in the direct male line; so that the prophecy held good to "his son and his son's son," and the intermediate two are omitted.

serve themselves of him—make him their servant (Jeremiah 25:14; Isaiah 13:22). So "his day" for the destined day of his calamity (Job 18:20).
