Jeremias 28:13

13 dwelling on many waters, and amidst the abundance of her treasures; thine end is come verily into thy bowels.

Jeremias 28:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 28:13

Go and tell Hananiah, saying, thus saith the Lord
Whose name he had abused; whose prophet he had ill treated; and whose prophecies he had contradicted, and the symbols of them had contumeliously used: thou hast broken the yokes of wood:
or, "bonds", or "the thongs" ^F17; with which the yokes of wood were bound and fastened, as Kimchi interprets it: but thou shall make for them yokes of iron;
not Hananiah, but Jeremiah; who should prophesy of a more severe bondage the nations should be brought into by Nebuchadnezzar, in direct contradiction to Hananiah's prophecy; instead of wooden yokes, they should have iron ones; which should lie heavier, and bear harder upon them, and which could not be broken nor taken off.

Jeremias 28:13 In-Context

11 Prepare the arrows; fill the quivers: the Lord has stirred up the spirit of the king of the Medes: for his wrath is against Babylon, to destroy it utterly; for it is the Lord's vengeance, it is the vengeance of his people.

12 Lift up a standard on the walls of Babylon, prepare the quivers, rouse the guards, prepare the weapons: for the Lord has taken in hand, and will execute what he has spoken against the inhabitants of Babylon,

13 dwelling on many waters, and amidst the abundance of her treasures; thine end is come verily into thy bowels.

14 For the Lord has sworn by his arm, I will fill thee with men as with locusts; and they that come down shall cry against thee.

15 The Lord made the earth by his power, preparing the world by his wisdom, by his understanding he stretched out the heaven.
