Commentary on Jeremiah 27:12

Theological / Devotional

Bring your necks. The same advice given to the surrounding nations (v. 11) is specifically directed to “Zedekiah king of Judah.” As leader of the people the king, if he had so desired, could presumably have led the nation to yield to Babylon (see PK 458).
