Jeremías 27:8

8 'Y sucederá que la nación o el reino que no sirva a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y que no ponga su cerviz bajo el yugo del rey de Babilonia, con espada, con hambre y con pestilencia a esa nación castigaré'declara el SEÑOR"hasta que yo la haya destruido por su mano.

Jeremías 27:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:8

And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom which
will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon
Will not, upon his approaching to them, invading and besieging them, submit and become tributary to him, as is more fully expressed in the next clause: and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon;
or voluntarily become subject to him, and pay a tax he shall impose upon them. This refers to, and explains the symbol of, Jeremiah's making and wearing yokes, ( Jeremiah 27:2 ) ; that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and with
the famine, and with the pestilence;
with one judgment after another; some will perish by the sword of the enemy, sallying out upon them, or endeavouring to make their escape; others by famine their provisions being spent through the length of the siege; and others by pestilence, or the plague, by the immediate hand of God: until I have consumed them by his hand;
Nebuchadnezzar's; by means of him; by his sword, and strait besieging them; or, "into his hand"; and so the Targum,

``until I have delivered them into his hand;''

having consumed multitudes by the sword, famine, and pestilence, will deliver the rest into his hands to be carried captive by him.

Jeremías 27:8 In-Context

6 'Y ahora yo he puesto todas estas tierras en manos de mi siervo Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, siervo mío, y también las bestias del campo le he dado para que le sirvan.

7 'Y todas las naciones le servirán a él, a su hijo, y al hijo de su hijo, hasta que llegue también la hora a su propia tierra; entonces muchas naciones y grandes reyes lo harán su siervo.

8 'Y sucederá que la nación o el reino que no sirva a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y que no ponga su cerviz bajo el yugo del rey de Babilonia, con espada, con hambre y con pestilencia a esa nación castigaré'declara el SEÑOR"hasta que yo la haya destruido por su mano.

9 'Vosotros, pues, no escuchéis a vuestros profetas, a vuestros adivinos, a vuestros soñadores, a vuestros agoreros ni a vuestros hechiceros que os hablan, diciendo: "No serviréis al rey de Babilonia."

10 'Porque ellos os profetizan mentira, para alejaros de vuestra tierra, y para que yo os expulse y perezcáis.
