Jeremías 27:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:6

And now I have given all these lands
Before mentioned; of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, Zidon, and Judea: into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant;
whom God used as an instrument in correcting and chastising the nations; and who obeyed his will, though he knew it not; nor did what he did in obedience to it; and yet had the honour of being called his servant, and of being rewarded with a very large empire; which was owing, not so much to his prowess and valour, wisdom and management, as to the providence of God; who delivered the above kingdoms, with others, into his hands, as being the sole proprietor and sovereign disposer of them: and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him;
either to bring him, and his armies, and his carriages of provisions for them, and warlike stores, for the invasion and taking the above countries; or the cattle found there, which belonged to these countries, and the inhabitants thereof, which would fall into his hands with them.

Jeremías 27:6 In-Context

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.

8 Así que ustedes deben someterse al rey de Babilonia y servirle; ¡pongan su cuello bajo el yugo de Babilonia! Castigaré a toda nación que rehúse ser su esclava, dice el Señor
. Enviaré guerra, hambre y enfermedad sobre esa nación hasta que Babilonia la conquiste.
