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.

5 Yo, con mi gran poder y mi brazo poderoso, hice la tierra, y los hombres y los animales que están sobre ella, y puedo dárselos a quien me plazca.

6 Ahora mismo entrego todos estos países en manos de mi siervo Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y hasta las bestias del campo las he puesto bajo su poder.

7 Todas las naciones le servirán a él, y a su hijo y a su nieto, hasta que también a su país le llegue la hora y sea sometido por numerosas naciones y grandes reyes.

8 Y si alguna nación o reino rehúsa someterse a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y no dobla el cuello bajo el yugo del rey de Babilonia, yo castigaré a esa nación con espada, hambre y pestilencia, hasta que Nabucodonosor la destruya por completo —afirma el SEÑOR—.
