Commentary on Jeremiah 28:13

Theological / Devotional

Yokes of iron. See Deut. 28:48. As a rebuke to all attempts to resist Nebuchadnezzar as His chosen “servant” to punish His people (see Jer. 25:9), God persists in using the figure of the yoke, but this time with a stronger, more severe force, that of “iron,” thus warning the apostates that any resistance would only result in more bitter and more painful bondage.
