Jeremías 27:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:9

Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets
False prophets, as the Targum. These words are not directed to the Jews, but are a continuation of what the messengers of the nations should say to their masters from the God of Israel, by the mouth of his prophet; for they had their prophets as well as the Jews; as the prophets of Baal, and others: nor to your diviners;
or soothsayers; such an one as was Balaam: nor to your dreamers;
or "dreams"; such as they had themselves, and laid great stress upon; or to those who pretended to interpret them to them: nor to your enchanters;
or stargazers; astrologers, who pretended by the position of the stars to foretell what would come to pass: nor to your sorcerers;
or wizards, or necromancers; who, by unlawful methods, pretended to acquire knowledge of future things: which speak unto you, saying, ye shall not serve the king of Babylon;
meaning, either that they ought not to become tributary to him; or they should not be brought into subjection by him: and so were stirred up to oppose him, and not submit to him.

Jeremías 27:9 In-Context

7 Todas las naciones le servirán a él, y a su hijo y a su nieto, hasta que también a su país le llegue la hora y sea sometido por numerosas naciones y grandes reyes.

8 Y si alguna nación o reino rehúsa someterse a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y no dobla el cuello bajo el yugo del rey de Babilonia, yo castigaré a esa nación con espada, hambre y pestilencia, hasta que Nabucodonosor la destruya por completo —afirma el SEÑOR—.

9 »”’Por tanto, no les hagan caso a sus profetas ni a sus adivinos, intérpretes de sueños, astrólogos y hechiceros, que les dicen que no se sometan al rey de Babilonia.

10 Las mentiras que ellos les profetizan solo sirven para que ustedes se alejen de su propia tierra, y para que yo los expulse y mueran.

11 En cambio, a la nación que doble el cuello bajo el yugo del rey de Babilonia y se someta a él —afirma el SEÑOR—, yo la dejaré en su propia tierra para que la trabaje y viva en ella’”».
