G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 27:1-22

Having thus repeated the vision and prophecies of the earlier times, Jeremiah again addressed himself directly to Zedekiah. There can be no doubt that the marginal reading of 27:l must be adopted, and the word "Zedekiah" substituted for "Jehoiakim." Having shown by his vision of the baskets of figs what was determined against Judah in the way of punishment, through Babylon, the prophet now announced Jehovah's attitude in this matter. He was charged to make bands and bars. Evidently one of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:1-22

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). Whilst the first twenty five chapters of Jeremiah have mainly been a record of his general prophecies, mostly given during the reigns of Josiah and Jehoiakim, and have been in the first person, this second section of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5) is in the third person, includes a great deal of material about the problems that Jeremiah faced during his ministry and provides information about the opposition that he continually... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:12-22

Zedekiah Himself Is Also Warned Of The Necessity For Continued Submission To The King Of Babylon (Jeremiah 27:12-22 ). Zedekiah is also warned by Jeremiah of the consequences of not continuing to submit to the King of Babylon. He was to ignore the promises of the prophets who promised a quick deliverance and return of the previously stolen Temple vessels, for they were untrue. In fact the truth was that disobedience to YHWH’s warning would simply result in the remainder of the Temple... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:12-22

Jeremiah 27:12-Song of Solomon : . The Warning to Zedekiah.— Jeremiah also warns Zedekiah to the same effect ( Jeremiah 27:12-Ezra :), and tells priests and people not to believe the prophets who promise an early return of the Temple vessels. Let the prophets rather pray that the vessels left by the Babylonians be not also carried off; for Yahweh intends to remove these also, that they may remain in Babylon until His appointed time. This warning was apparently successful; Zedekiah did not... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 27:15

They make use of my name, and pretend to say what they say by commission from me, saith the Lord; but there is no such thing, I never gave them authority to speak any such things. And though possibly they do not design your ruin by these practices, for none can be thought to design their own ruin, yet that will be the end of it; for by this means your hearts are hardened against the revelations of my will, by which I shall be provoked to give you up to ruin; nor shall they escape, for they... read more

Chapter 27Now Jeremiah goes on to declare that,In the beginning ( Jeremiah 27:1 )He's speaking this to the king Zedekiah.In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck ( Jeremiah 27:1-2 ),So Jeremiah made this wooden yoke and he put it over his neck. A yoke like they put over an ox, and it was a sign of servitude. So he put this yoke... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 27:1-22

Jeremiah 27:1 . In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim. In the twelfth verse it is added, “I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah.” These occurrences induce some critics to believe that Jehoiakim has been mis-written for Zedekiah. Jeremiah 27:2-3 . Make thee bonds and yokes and send them to the king of Moab, &c. There were at this time in Jerusalem ambassadors from those kings, soliciting Zedekiah to join them in a league against the king of Babylon. On this league the cunning... read more
