Jeremías 27:8

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—.

Jeremías 27:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 27:8

And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom which
will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon
Will not, upon his approaching to them, invading and besieging them, submit and become tributary to him, as is more fully expressed in the next clause: and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon;
or voluntarily become subject to him, and pay a tax he shall impose upon them. This refers to, and explains the symbol of, Jeremiah's making and wearing yokes, ( Jeremiah 27:2 ) ; that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and with
the famine, and with the pestilence;
with one judgment after another; some will perish by the sword of the enemy, sallying out upon them, or endeavouring to make their escape; others by famine their provisions being spent through the length of the siege; and others by pestilence, or the plague, by the immediate hand of God: until I have consumed them by his hand;
Nebuchadnezzar's; by means of him; by his sword, and strait besieging them; or, "into his hand"; and so the Targum,

``until I have delivered them into his hand;''

having consumed multitudes by the sword, famine, and pestilence, will deliver the rest into his hands to be carried captive by him.

Jeremías 27:8 In-Context

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—.

9 »”’Por tanto, no les hagan caso a sus profetas ni a sus adivinos, intérpretes de sueños, astrólogos y hechiceros, que les dicen que no se sometan al rey de Babilonia.

10 Las mentiras que ellos les profetizan solo sirven para que ustedes se alejen de su propia tierra, y para que yo los expulse y mueran.
