Jeremiah 27:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 27:8

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.

11 But the nations that bring their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let them remain in their own land,’ says the Lord, ‘and they shall till it and dwell in it.’ ” ’ ”

12 I also spoke to ^aZedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live!
