Jeremías 27:9

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."

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 'Y todas las naciones le servirán a él, a su hijo, y al hijo de su hijo, hasta que llegue también la hora a su propia tierra; entonces muchas naciones y grandes reyes lo harán su siervo.

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.'"
