(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
serve themselves - (Jer 27:7; Jer 30:8; Jer 34:10). Avail themselves of their services as slaves.
them also - the Chaldees, who heretofore have made other nations their slaves, shall themselves also in their turn be slaves to them. Maurer translates, “shall impose servitude on them, even them.”
recompense them - namely, the Chaldees and other nations against whom Jeremiah had prophesied (Jer 25:13), as having oppressed the Jews.
their deeds - rather, “deed,” namely, their bad treatment of the Jews (Jer 50:29; Jer 51:6, Jer 51:24; compare 2Ch 36:17).
