This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be: see the fulfilling of this prophecy, 2Ki_25:13-15,2Ch_36:18; and that they abode in Babylon till the end of the captivity, appeareth from Dan_5:2, where we read of Belshazzar’s sending for them to drink wine in at his fatal feast.
Until the day that I visit them; that is, until the expiration of the time of the Jewish captivity, which was seventy years.
Then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place; the fulfilling of that part of the prophecy we have Ezr_1:7-11, in these words, Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods; even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives, thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand. All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem. So punctually was Jeremiah’s prophecy in this place fulfilled, and so exactly doth one part of holy writ agree with another, which are great arguments to prove the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures.
