Jeremías 27:1-7

1 Jeremías se coloca un yugo para bueyes
Jeremías recibió el siguiente mensaje del Señor
a principios del reinado de Sedequías,
hijo de Josías, rey de Judá.
2 Esto me dijo el Señor
: «Hazte un yugo y átatelo al cuello con correas de cuero.
3 Luego envía un mensaje a los reyes de Edom, Moab, Amón, Tiro y Sidón a través de sus embajadores que han llegado a visitar al rey Sedequías en Jerusalén.
4 Dales este mensaje para sus amos: “Esto dice el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales, Dios de Israel:
5 ‘Yo hice la tierra, la gente y cada animal con mi gran fuerza y brazo poderoso. Estas cosas me pertenecen y puedo dárselas a quien yo quiera.
6 Ahora entregaré estos países al rey Nabucodonosor de Babilonia, quien es mi siervo. He puesto todo bajo su control, aun los animales salvajes.
7 Todas las naciones le servirán a él, a su hijo y a su nieto hasta que se acabe el tiempo de ellos. Entonces muchas naciones y grandes reyes conquistarán y dominarán a Babilonia.

Jeremías 27:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JEREMIAH 27

This chapter contains a prophecy of the subjection of the king of Judah, with five neighbouring kings, to the king of Babylon; signified by bonds and yokes on the prophet's neck, which they are exhorted patiently to bear, as being most for their good; and not to give heed to false prophets, who would persuade them to the contrary. The date of the prophecy is in Jer 27:1; the order to make the yokes, and send them to the several neighbouring princes by their messengers at Jerusalem, Jer 27:2,3; what they should say to their masters from the God of Israel, who is described from his power in the creation of the earth, and the disposal of it, Jer 27:4,5; as that he had given all their lands into the hand of the king of Babylon, whom they should serve, or it would be worse for them, Jer 27:6-8; and therefore should not hearken to their prophets, who prophesied lies; if they did, it would be to their hurt; whereas, if they quietly submitted, they would dwell in their own land, Jer 27:9-11; particularly Zedekiah king of Judah is exhorted to submit; and both he, and the priests and the people, are advised not to hearken to the false prophets, Jer 27:12-15; particularly as to what they said concerning the speedy return of the vessels of the temple, which were carried away to Babylon; but might assure themselves they should remain there; and the rest also should be taken, and not returned until the end of the seventy years, Jer 27:16-22.
