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

Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 27:10 In-Context

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.

11 'Pero la nación que ponga su cerviz bajo el yugo del rey de Babilonia y le sirva, la dejaré en su tierra'declara el SEÑOR"y la cultivará y habitará en ella.'"

12 Y a Sedequías, rey de Judá, hablé palabras como éstas, diciendo: Poned vuestra cerviz bajo el yugo del rey de Babilonia, y servidle a él y a su pueblo, y viviréis.
