Jeremias 27:2

2 Assim me disse o Senhor: Faze-te brochas e canzis e põe-nos ao teu pescoço.

Jeremias 27:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:2

Thus saith the Lord to me, make thee bonds and yokes
The yokes were made of wood, as appears from ( Jeremiah 28:13 ) ; and the bonds were strings or thongs, which bound the yoke together, that it might not slip off the neck, on which it was put: and put them upon thy neck;
not all of them together, but one after another, at different times; and this was very significant; for the prophet being seen abroad with a yoke upon his neck, it would be natural to inquire the meaning of it; when they would be told it was to signify the subjection of Judah, and so of other nations, to the king of Babylon; and that he did wear at times such a yoke, even fifteen years after, in the fourth of Zedekiah's reign, appears from ( Jeremiah 28:1 Jeremiah 28:10 ) .

Jeremias 27:2 In-Context

1 No princípio do reinado de Zedequias, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, veio esta palavra a Jeremias da parte do Senhor, dizendo:

2 Assim me disse o Senhor: Faze-te brochas e canzis e põe-nos ao teu pescoço.

3 Depois envia-os ao rei de Edom, e ao rei de Moabe, e ao rei dos filhos de Amom, e ao rei de Tiro, e ao rei de Sidom, pela mão dos mensageiros que são vindos a Jerusalém a ter com zedequias, rei de Judá;

4 e lhes darás uma mensageem para seus senhores, dizendo: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Assim direis a vossos senhores:

5 Sou eu que, com o meu grande poder e o meu braço estendido, fiz a terra com os homens e os animais que estão sobre a face da terra; e a dou a quem me apraz.
