Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
27:9-10 Jeremiah warned against those who delivered messages contrary to those of the Lord. False prophets made predictions that supported idol worship; fortune-tellers claimed to have special abilities to predict future events by reading the stars, staring into crystal balls, and analyzing animal livers; interpreters of dreams predicted the future by analyzing people’s dreams and explaining what would happen; mediums claimed to converse with dead people; sorcerers specialized in casting spells to hurt or bless people by saying certain words or phrases that would concentrate evil or blessing on someone. • The king of Babylon will not conquer you: This prediction was false; Nebuchadnezzar conquered the entire region beginning in 605 BC.
