Notes

Jeremiah 27:4–5

The full power of the divine name supported this message (see study note on Jeremiah 2:2). The Lord's authority over everything directly challenged the false nature gods worshiped by each nation mentioned.

Jeremiah 27:1–22

The Lord told Jeremiah to send messages to the ambassadors from nearby countries to announce the Lord’s judgment on them. Jeremiah was to show his message by wearing a wooden yoke. This event happened in 594 to 593 BC (see Jeremiah 28:1).
