Y sucederá, que la nación y el reino que no sirviere a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y que no pusiere su cuello debajo del yugo del rey de Babilonia, con espada y con hambre y con pestilencia castigaré a la tal gente, dice Jehová, hasta que los acabe yo por su mano.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

And it: There is a peculiar grandeur, as well as propriety, in this method of predicting Nebuchadnezzar's rapid successes. The God of Israel, declaring himself to be the Lord of armies, and the Creator and Owner of the whole earth, with all its inhabitants and productions, and claiming full sovereignty over his creatures, avows his determination, for reasons he does not deign to assign, to give all the countries of the world to the king of Babylon, whom he calls his servant, because he would accomplish an important part of his most righteous designs. They, therefore, who would escape the most dreadful judgments, must submit to the God of Israel, by submitting to Nebuchadnezzar; they must hearken to the prophets of Israel, and not to their own diviners; and they must observe, that Nebuchadnezzar, his son, and his grandson, would whatever opposition should be made, possess the full dominion of all these countries, till the appointed time was expired; and then, these haughty conquerors would in their turn become the prey of other powerful conquerors; all of which was most exactly fulfilled.

that nation: Jeremiah 25:28, Jeremiah 25:29, Jeremiah 38:17-19, Jeremiah 40:9, Jeremiah 42:10-18, Jeremiah 52:3-6, Ezekiel 17:19-21

with the sword: Jeremiah 24:10, Ezekiel 14:21

Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 2:21 - but the Lord 2 Kings 10:5 - We are thy servants 2 Kings 25:1 - Nebuchadnezzar Nehemiah 3:5 - put not Job 34:29 - whether Jeremiah 4:7 - destroyer Jeremiah 27:11 - General Jeremiah 27:12 - Bring Jeremiah 27:13 - by the sword Jeremiah 32:3 - Behold Jeremiah 32:29 - and set Lamentations 1:14 - yoke Lamentations 5:5 - Our necks are under persecution

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon,.... Will not, upon his approaching to them, invading and besieging them, submit and become tributary to him, as is more fully expressed in the next clause:

and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon; or voluntarily become subject to him, and pay a tax he shall impose upon them. This refers to, and explains the symbol of, Jeremiah's making and wearing yokes, Jeremiah 27:2;

that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence; with one judgment after another; some will perish by the sword of the enemy, sallying out upon them, or endeavouring to make their escape; others by famine their provisions being spent through the length of the siege; and others by pestilence, or the plague, by the immediate hand of God:

until I have consumed them by his hand; Nebuchadnezzar's; by means of him; by his sword, and strait besieging them; or, "into his hand"; and so the Targum,

"until I have delivered them into his hand;''

having consumed multitudes by the sword, famine, and pestilence, will deliver the rest into his hands to be carried captive by him.
