Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 27:5

_ _ God here, as elsewhere, connects with the symbol doctrine, which is as it were its soul, without which it would be not only cold and frivolous, but even dead [Calvin]. God’s mention of His supreme power is in order to refute the pride of those who rely on their own power (Isaiah 45:12).

_ _ given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me — (Psalms 115:15, Psalms 115:16; Daniel 4:17, Daniel 4:25, Daniel 4:32). Not for his merits, but of My own sole good pleasure [Estius].
