Jeremiah 27:10

10 They are lying to you, and their lies will lead to banishment from your land. I will drive you out, and you will perish.

Jeremiah 27:10 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:10

For they prophesy a lie unto you
That which was vain and false, and proved so; though they might not know it was when delivered: to remove you far from your land;
not that they designed it by their prophecies, but so it was eventually; for, standing it out against Nebuchadnezzar, encouraged by the lies and dreams of their prophets, he, in process of time, took them, and carried them captive into Babylon; whereas, had they surrendered at once, they might have continued in their own land, paying a tax or tribute to the king of Babylon: and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish;
drive them out of their own land, and so perish in a foreign land: God is said to do that which his servant or instrument did, being provoked by the sin and disobedience of the people, hearkening to their lying prophets, and not to him.
