Jeremias 27:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:5

I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon
the ground
The earth was made by him on the first day, and man and beast on the sixth day, of the creation; the earth is still supported in its being, and man and beast are continued on it in succession: this is mentioned to show his right and authority to dispose of the earth, and all in it, at his pleasure; which is founded on his creation and sustaining of it, and all creatures in it: which was, and is, as he says, by my great power, and by my outstretched arm;
for nothing less could have created the original chaos out of nothing, and brought that into form and order, and produced out of it such creatures as man and beast; and nothing less than that could continue it in being, and a succession of creatures on it: and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me;
some part of it to one, and some to another; and more to one than to another; but to none according to their merit, but according to his own sovereign will and pleasure; see ( Psalms 115:16 ) .

Jeremias 27:5 In-Context

3 Depois mande uma mensagem aos reis de Edom, de Moabe, de Amom, de Tiro e de Sidom, por meio dos embaixadores que vieram a Jerusalém para ver Zedequias, rei de Judá.

4 Esta é a mensagem que deverão transmitir aos seus senhores: Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel:

5 Eu fiz a terra, os seres humanos e os animais que nela estão, com o meu grande poder e com meu braço estendido, e eu a dou a quem eu quiser.

6 Agora, sou eu mesmo que entrego todas essas nações nas mãos do meu servo Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia; sujeitei a ele até mesmo os animais selvagens.

7 Todas as nações estarão sujeitas a ele, a seu filho e a seu neto; até que chegue a hora em que a terra dele seja subjugada por muitas nações e por reis poderosos.
