Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:16

"And I spake to the priests and to all the people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold the vessels of Jehovah's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie unto you. Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city become a desolation? But if they be prophets, and if the word of Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts,... read more

1-29. Judah is warned to submit to Babylon.1. For Jehoiakim read ’Zedekiah’: see Jeremiah 27:3, Jeremiah 27:12, Jeremiah 27:20. The former word may be a copyist’s accidental repetition of Jeremiah 26:1. 2. It is plain from Jeremiah 28:10 that Jeremiah actually wore a yoke in public. 3. Messengers] These ambassadors had come to Jerusalem probably with the view of forming an alliance against Babylon. This, however, was not accomplished, as Zedekiah was compelled to go to Babylon and swear... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:1-32

Jeremiah’s Sixteenth Prophecy (Reign of Zedekiah, Earlier Part). The Babylonian YokeBabylon had already shown its power. Jehoiakim and the chief of the people had been carried captive. Zedekiah was king only on sufferance. The neighbouring nations were under those circumstances willing to make common cause with the Jews against Nebuchadnezzar, many of whom, however, refused to realise the gravity of the danger. In these chs., therefore, Jeremiah sets himself to show that the power of Babylon... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 27:16

(16) Behold the vessels of the Lord’s house . . .—The importance attached to this specific prediction, on which apparently the false prophets staked their credit, can easily be understood. The vessels referred to are those which had been carried off by Nebuchadnezzar in his first invasion, and before the accession of Zedekiah (2 Kings 24:13; 2 Chronicles 36:7). The people mourned over the absence of what they had so prized among the treasures of the Temple, and the prophets accordingly soothed... read more

CHAPTER IXHANANIAHJeremiah 27:1-22, Jeremiah 28:1-17"Hear now, Hananiah; Jehovah hath not sent thee, but thou makest this people to trust in a lie."- Jeremiah 28:15THE most conspicuous point at issue between Jeremiah and his opponents was political rather than ecclesiastical. Jeremiah was anxious that Zedekiah should keep faith with Nebuchadnezzar, and not involve Judah in useless misery by another hopeless revolt. The prophets preached the popular doctrine of an imminent Divine intervention to... read more

CHAPTER 27 The Optimism of the False Prophets Contradicted 1. The call of Nebuchadnezzar to be the servant of God (Jeremiah 27:1-11 ) 2. The call to submit and to serve the king of Babylon (Jeremiah 27:12-22 ) Jeremiah 27:1-11 . It was in the earlier part of the reign of Zedekiah (Jehoiakim in Jeremiah 27:1 is a clerical error, see Jeremiah 27:3 and Jeremiah 27:12 ) that Jeremiah is commanded to make bonds and yokes to put them on his neck; then he was to send them to the surrounding... read more
