Jeremiah 27
1. By the type of bonds and yokes he prophesies the subduing of the neighbor kings
8. He exhorts them to yield, and not to believe the false prophets.
12. The like he does to Zedekiah.
19. He foretells the remnant of the vessels shall be carried to Babylon,














For this is what the LORD of Hosts says
This phrase emphasizes the authority and sovereignty of God, often used by prophets to assert that the message they deliver is not their own but from God Himself. The title "LORD of Hosts" (Yahweh Sabaoth) underscores God's supreme command over the armies of heaven and earth, indicating His power and ability to fulfill His words. This divine authority is a reminder of God's ultimate control over the events unfolding in Jerusalem and the world.

about the pillars
The "pillars" refer to the two bronze pillars, Jachin and Boaz, that stood at the entrance of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 7:15-22). These pillars were not only architectural features but also symbolic of stability and strength. In the context of Jeremiah, they represent the enduring presence of God among His people, which is now under threat due to their disobedience.

the sea
The "sea" refers to the large bronze basin used for ceremonial washing in the Temple (1 Kings 7:23-26). It symbolizes purity and the cleansing necessary for approaching God. The mention of the sea in this context highlights the impending loss of sacred elements due to the Babylonian invasion, a consequence of Israel's failure to maintain spiritual purity.

the stands
These were the ten bronze stands or carts used to support the basins for washing the offerings (1 Kings 7:27-39). They signify the practical aspects of worship and the daily rituals that sustained the spiritual life of Israel. Their mention here underscores the disruption of worship practices and the dismantling of the religious system due to the nation's unfaithfulness.

and the rest of the vessels
This phrase encompasses all other sacred items used in the Temple service, including utensils and implements necessary for sacrifices and offerings. The loss of these vessels signifies the broader loss of spiritual identity and the means of maintaining a covenant relationship with God. It serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's commandments.

that remain in this city
The phrase "that remain in this city" indicates that some sacred items have already been taken or destroyed, and what is left is under threat. It reflects the dire situation in Jerusalem, where the remnants of their religious heritage are at risk. This serves as a call to repentance and a return to faithfulness, urging the people to recognize the gravity of their situation and the need for divine intervention.

(19) For thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars . . .--The "pillars" referred to were probably the two bronze columns known as Jachin and Boaz, on each side of the porch of the Temple (1Kings 7:21). The molten "sea," standing on twelve oxen as its supporters, is described in 1Kings 7:23-26. The ten "bases" for the ten lavers, with their engraved work of cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, are described in 1Kings 7:27-37. The work of plunder was apparently confined, in the first instance, to the more portable vessels--cups, flagons, and the like. The absence of the specific list of the vessels in the LXX. version has led some critics to the conclusion that it was a later addition to the Hebrew text.

Verse 19. - This and the two following verses are thus given in the Septuagint: "For thus saith the Lord... and the rest of the vessels which the king of Babylon took not, when he carried Jeconiah captive from Jerusalem; they shall come to Babylon, saith the Lord." This shortened form throws a light on the fact of the absence of "now shortly" in ver. 16 (see note). The pillars, etc.; i.e. the two bronze pillars called Jachin and Boaz (1 Kings 7:21). The sea; i.e. the molten "sea," or basin (1 Kings 7:23). The bases (1 Kings 7:27).
