(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
his yoke ... thy neck - his, that is, Jacob’s (Jer 30:7), the yoke imposed on him. The transition to the second person is frequent, God speaking of Jacob or Israel, at the same time addressing him directly. So “him” rightly follows; “foreigners shall no more make him their servant” (Jer 25:14). After the deliverance by Cyrus, Persia, Alexander, Antiochus, and Rome made Judah their servant. The full of deliverance meant must, therefore, be still future.
