Jeremias 27:11

11 Because ye rejoiced, and boasted, plundering mine heritage; because ye exulted as calves in the grass, and pushed with the horn as bulls.

Jeremias 27:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:11

But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the
king of Babylon, and serve him
That at once, and readily, submit unto him, and pay him tribute: those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the Lord;
undisturbed by any other enemy; peaceably dwelling in their own habitations; following their occupations and business of life; and enjoying their substance and estates, only paying the tax imposed on them: and they shall till it, and dwell therein;
manure and cultivate it, and gather and eat the fruit of it, and continue to do so, they and their posterity after them.

Jeremias 27:11 In-Context

9 For, behold, I stir up against Babylon the gatherings of nations out of the land of the north; and they shall set themselves in array against her: thence shall she be taken, as the dart of an expert warrior shall not return empty.

10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied.

11 Because ye rejoiced, and boasted, plundering mine heritage; because ye exulted as calves in the grass, and pushed with the horn as bulls.

12 Your mother is greatly ashamed; your mother that bore you for prosperity is confounded: the last of the nations, desolate,

13 by reason of the Lord's anger: it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be all a desolation; and every one that passes through Babylon shall scowl, and they shall hiss at all her plague.
