Context — The LORD Answers Jeremiah
25Yet You, O Lord GOD, have said to me, ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver and call in witnesses, even though the city has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans!’”
26Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
27“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?
28Therefore this is what the LORD says: Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will capture it. 29And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come in, set it on fire, and burn it, along with the houses of those who provoked Me to anger by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I [am] the Lord, the God of all flesh,.... Jehovah, the self-existent Being, that gives being to all creatures; and is particularly the God of all men, the Maker and Preserver of them, and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 32:27
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:27
The Lord beginneth this revelation, for the prophet’ s satisfaction, with the preface expressive of his power and universal dominion, from which Jeremiah might understand that he could do whatsoever he pleased, and man, that was but flesh, , could not hinder his effecting what he designed to do. God is also the God of the spirits of all flesh, ; but he expresseth man here only under the notion of flesh, as , to denote his vileness and inconsiderableness as to any grappling with God, and encountering his purposes.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:27
Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?Ver. 27. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh.] Yea, of the "spirits of all flesh"; but what can weak flesh do against the Almighty? Is there anything too hard for me?] See on Jeremiah 32:15; Jeremiah 32:17. Still God is careful to confirm and comfort his ministers, and here he doth Jeremiah much what in his own words.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:27
(27) Is there any thing too hard for me?—The answer to the prayer is an echo of the prayer itself (Jeremiah 32:17). The prophet is assured that he was not wrong when he cast himself, in the full confidence of faith, on the loving omnipotence of God. The words which he had used were more than a liturgical formula to one who had that confidence.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 32:27
16–27. See introd. summary to the section.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 32:27
27. The God of all flesh — The supremacy and universality of the divine dominion is here, as everywhere, a ground condition of the Old Testament relations. See Numbers 16:22; Numbers 27:16. Too hard — Literally, too wonderful.
