James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 27:1-22

MORE MESSAGES FOR ZEDEKIAH In some respects the most important chapter here is the first, which deals with Babylon’s supremacy, and reveals the beginning of “the times of the Gentiles,” or “the fulness of the Gentiles” (Romans 11:25 ). The term refers to the period when Israel, because of her disobedience to God, has forfeited her place of power in the earth and is scattered among the nations. It begins when God transfers this power to the Gentiles as represented by Babylon, and continues... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 27:1-8

The time of this prophecy is noted, but it should seem, that though the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah then, he did pot deliver it till a considerable space after, for Jekoiakim's reign at the beginning, was many years before Zedekiah. But the doctrine is the same. Let the Reader observe from what is here said, how the Lord governeth all nations: and that it is by him Kings reign; and princes decree justice. Sweet and consolatory thought to the believer in Jesus! Proverbs 8:15 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 27:7

His son; viz., Evilmerodach, and his son's son, viz., Nabonydus, or Nabonadius, the Baltassar of Daniel, (chap. v.) and the last of the Chaldean kings. (Challoner) --- Come. It will not be long before this rod is cast into the fire, the usual fate of those who execute God's vengeance. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:1-11

1-11 Jeremiah is to prepare a sign that all the neighbouring countries would be made subject to the king of Babylon. God asserts his right to dispose of kingdoms as he pleases. Whatever any have of the good things of this world, it is what God sees fit to give; we should therefore be content. The things of this world are not the best things, for the Lord often gives the largest share to bad men. Dominion is not founded in grace. Those who will not serve the God who made them, shall justly be... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 27:1-11

The Message of the Yokes v. 1. In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim (rather, of Zedekiah), the son of Josiah, king of Judah, about 609 B. C. came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, v. 2. Thus saith the Lord to me, Make thee bonds and yokes, the yokes being held in place on the neck by strong cords or thongs, and put them upon thy neck, retaining the one for himself, v. 3. and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to... read more

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

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:3-11

Jeremiah Was Later Commanded To Send Parallel Yokes To The Plotters Of Rebellion Whose Ambassadors Were Congregated In Jerusalem (Jeremiah 27:3-11 ). The sending of the yokes to related nations, which would be copies of the one worn by Jeremiah, was to be accompanied by a stern warning from ‘YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel’ that they remain in submission to Babylon. Jeremiah 27:3 “And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the... read more
