What does Jeremiah 28:14 mean?
For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of
Israel
Under which titles he is often spoken of; and which he uses, when
he delivered anything to his prophets to declare in his name to
others: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all
these nations:
mentioned in ( Jeremiah
27:3 ) ; that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon, and they shall
serve him;
directly contrary to what Hananiah had prophesied, ( Jeremiah
28:11 ) ; that his yoke should be broke off from them; but
instead of that, it should become heavier unto them, and they
should be obliged to serve him, whether they would or not; and
refusing to pay tribute to him, should be carried captive by him,
as had been foretold: and I have given him the beasts of
the field also;
as he had said he would, ( Jeremiah
27:6 ) ; and which is repeated, to show that the whole would
be punctually fulfilled; that not only those nations, the men,
the inhabitants of them, would be delivered to him; but even the
very cattle, and all that belonged to them.
