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 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.

9 »’No les hagan caso a sus falsos profetas, adivinos, intérpretes de sueños, los médiums y hechiceros que dicen: “El rey de Babilonia no los conquistará”.

10 Todos son mentirosos y sus mentiras solo servirán para que ustedes sean expulsados de su propia tierra. Yo los expulsaré y los enviaré a morir lejos;

11 pero al pueblo de toda nación que se someta al rey de Babilonia se le permitirá permanecer en su propio país para cultivar la tierra como siempre. ¡Yo, el Señor
, he hablado!’”».
