Context — The Yoke of Nebuchadnezzar

9But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ 10For they prophesy to you a lie that will serve to remove you from your land; I will banish you and you will perish.

11But the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and reside in it, declares the LORD.”

12And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live! 13Why should you and your people die by sword and famine and plague, as the LORD has decreed against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?

As for you, gather wine grapes, summer fruit, and oil, place them in your storage jars, and live in the cities you have taken.” When all the Jews in Moab, Ammon, Edom, and all the other lands heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judah and had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over them, they all returned from all the places to which they had been banished and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah.

Jeremiah 27:11 Summary

[This verse is saying that if a nation is willing to submit to the rule of the king of Babylon, God will allow them to stay in their own land and live their lives. This is a picture of what it means to trust in God's sovereignty and submit to His will, even when it's hard. As we see in Psalm 37:3-7, when we trust in God and do good, He will give us the desires of our heart and we will dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to put one's neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon?

This is a metaphor for submitting to the king's rule and authority, much like an ox submits to the yoke of its master, as seen in Matthew 11:29-30 where Jesus invites us to take His yoke upon us and find rest.

Why would God want a nation to serve the king of Babylon?

God's desire is for His people to obey Him and trust in His sovereignty, even if it means submitting to a pagan king, as He is the one who raises up and brings down nations, according to Daniel 2:21 and Romans 13:1-2.

Does this verse imply that God is condoning the evil actions of the king of Babylon?

No, God is not condoning evil, but rather using the king of Babylon as a means to discipline and correct His people, as seen in Isaiah 10:5-6 where God uses Assyria as a rod of His anger.

How does this verse apply to our lives today?

This verse reminds us to trust in God's sovereignty and submit to the authorities He has placed over us, as seen in Romans 13:1-7, and to seek to live peaceful and quiet lives, as instructed in 1 Timothy 2:2.

Reflection Questions

What are some areas in my life where I am resisting God's will, and how can I submit to Him?
How can I trust in God's sovereignty when faced with difficult circumstances or unjust authorities?
What does it mean for me to 'cultivate' and 'reside' in my own land, and how can I apply this to my spiritual journey?
How can I balance the need to submit to authority with the need to stand up for what is right and just, as seen in Acts 5:29?

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 27:11

But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him,.... That at once, and readily, submit unto him, and pay him tribute: those will I let remain still in their

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 27:11

But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 27:11

Those that upon the first summons, or without making any hostile opposition, shall yield themselves servants to the king of Babylon, they shall remain still, and be left in the land to till the ground, and shall dwell therein. It is the time when God is resolved to put an end to the kingdom of Judah for a time, and to the other nations mentioned for ever: there is therefore no resisting of God’ s counsels; those that most quietly yield will be in the best condition.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 27:11

Jeremiah 27:11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.Ver. 11. But the nations that bring their neck.] When God bids us yoke, it is best to submit. In all his commands there is so much reason for them, that if God did not enjoin them, yet it were best, in self-respects, for us to practise them; since in serving him we shall have the creatures to serve us, &c.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 27:11

(11) But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke . . .—The advice thus given to the five nations that were seeking an alliance with Judah before the actual invasion, is specifically addressed to Judah in the next verse, and is repeated more fully after the population of Judæa had been carried into captivity, in Jeremiah 29. The first warning had been despised, and the exiles were then reaping the fruit of their self-will, but the principle that obedience was better than resistance remained the same.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 27:11

2–11. Certain kings having sent to invite Zedekiah to join them in an attempt to overthrow the power of Babylon, Jeremiah warns them to desist as the attempt would be futile. Du. points out that Zedekiah’s visit to Babylon (Jeremiah 51:59) about this time, whether voluntary or at the requisition of Nebuchadnezzar, may have had for one purpose the clearing himself from suspicion of being implicated in the proposed revolt, an unrest that may well have received a stimulus from the change of ruler in Egypt, Psammetichus II. succeeding his father Pharaoh-necoh in b.c. 594.
