Jérémie 27:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:2

Thus saith the Lord to me, make thee bonds and yokes
The yokes were made of wood, as appears from ( Jeremiah 28:13 ) ; and the bonds were strings or thongs, which bound the yoke together, that it might not slip off the neck, on which it was put: and put them upon thy neck;
not all of them together, but one after another, at different times; and this was very significant; for the prophet being seen abroad with a yoke upon his neck, it would be natural to inquire the meaning of it; when they would be told it was to signify the subjection of Judah, and so of other nations, to the king of Babylon; and that he did wear at times such a yoke, even fifteen years after, in the fourth of Zedekiah's reign, appears from ( Jeremiah 28:1 Jeremiah 28:10 ) .

Jérémie 27:2 In-Context

1 Au commencement du règne de Jéhojakim, fils de Josias, roi de Juda, cette parole fut adressée par l'Éternel à Jérémie, en ces termes:
2 L'Éternel me dit ainsi: Fais-toi des liens et des jougs, et mets-les sur ton cou;
3 Et envoie-les au roi d'Édom, au roi de Moab, au roi des enfants d'Ammon, au roi de Tyr, et au roi de Sidon, par les mains des ambassadeurs qui viennent à Jérusalem, vers Sédécias, roi de Juda.
4 Et donne-leur mes ordres pour leurs maîtres, en disant: Ainsi a dit l'Éternel des armées, le Dieu d'Israël: Vous direz ainsi à vos maîtres:
5 J'ai fait la terre, les hommes et les bêtes qui sont sur la terre, par ma grande force et par mon bras étendu; et je les donne à qui bon me semble.
