Contextual Overview

¹ The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, ² The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Put down in a book all the words which I have said to you. ³ For see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will let the fate of my people Israel and Judah be changed, says the Lord: and I will make them come back to the land which I gave to their fathers, so that they may take it for their heritage. ⁴ And these are the words which the Lord said about Israel and about Judah. ⁵ This is what the Lord has said: A voice of shaking fear has come to our ears, of fear and not of peace. ⁶ Put the question and see if it is possible for a man to have birth-pains: why do I see every man with his hands gripping his sides, as a woman does when the pains of birth are on her, and all faces are turned green? ⁷ Ha! for that day is so great that there is no day like it: it is the time of Jacob's trouble: but he will get salvation from it. ⁸ For it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that his yoke will be broken off his neck, and his bands will be burst; and men of strange lands will no longer make use of him as their servant: ⁹ But they will be servants to the Lord their God and to David their king, whom I will give back to them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts,.... When the time is come for Jacob to be saved out of his trouble:

[that] I will break his yoke from off thy neck; not the yoke of the king of Babylon, but of antichrist, and of all the antichristian states, by whom the people of God have been oppressed; so the Targum,

"I will break the yoke of the peoples (the antichristian nations) from off your necks.''

Jarchi interprets it of the yoke of the nations of the world from off Israel; and Kimchi of the yoke of Gog and Magog, or of every nation:

and will burst thy bonds; by which they were kept in bondage, both with respect to civil and religious things; but now he that led into captivity shall go into captivity himself, Revelation 13:10;

and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him; this shows that this prophecy cannot be understood of deliverance from the Babylonish captivity; because, after this, strangers did serve themselves of the Jews, and they were servants unto them; as to the Persians, and Grecians, and especially the Romans, by whom they were entirely subdued and ruined; and to this day all nations almost serve themselves of them; but when they shall be called and converted, as they shall be free from the yoke of sin and Satan, and from the yoke of the ceremonial law, and the traditions of their elders, in a religious sense; so from the yoke of the nations of the world, in a civil sense.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bonds - See Jeremiah 27:2 note.

Shall no more serve themselves - i. e., shall no more exact forced labor of him Jeremiah 22:13.
