Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 27:9

Theological / Devotional

Diviners. Those that cast lots or used other means to determine a course of action (see on Eze. 21:21; Dan. 1:20).

Enchanters. See on Lev. 19:26.

Sorcerers. See on Ex. 7:11; Dan. 2:2; cf. Isa. 47:9, 12. The predictions of all these pagan prognosticators were evidently in agreement in urging these five nations to rebel against Nebuchadnezzar.
