I will bring you out of the city
This phrase signifies God's active role in the unfolding events. The Hebrew root for "bring out" is "yatsa," which often implies a forceful removal or an exodus. Historically, this reflects the Babylonian exile, where the Israelites were forcibly removed from Jerusalem. Theologically, it underscores God's sovereignty and His ability to orchestrate events according to His divine plan. It serves as a reminder that God is not passive but actively involved in the lives of His people, even when it involves discipline.

and hand you over to foreigners
The term "hand you over" comes from the Hebrew "nathan," meaning to give or deliver. This indicates a transfer of control, emphasizing that the Israelites' fate is in God's hands. The "foreigners" refer to the Babylonians, who were instruments of God's judgment. This highlights the theme of divine justice, where God uses other nations to fulfill His purposes. It also serves as a warning against complacency and the consequences of disobedience to God's covenant.

and execute judgments against you
The word "execute" is derived from the Hebrew "asah," meaning to do or make, indicating a deliberate action. "Judgments" comes from "mishpat," which refers to legal decisions or decrees. This phrase underscores the certainty and righteousness of God's judgments. Historically, it reflects the fulfillment of prophetic warnings given to Israel for their idolatry and rebellion. It serves as a sobering reminder of God's holiness and the seriousness of sin, calling believers to repentance and faithfulness.

Verse 9. - The strangers are, of course, the Chaldean invaders, and the prediction finds its fulfilment in the massacre of the princes of Judah at Ritdah (Jeremiah 52:9, 10), which was in Hamath, the northern border of Israel (1 Kings 8:65; 2 Kings 14:25). Then they should see that their defiant speech as to the "caldron" and "the flesh" would be of no avail. Thus they should know that the prophet had spoken in the name of Jehovah, and that their punishment by the heathen was the righteous retribution for their having walked in the ways of the heathen.
