Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 27:9

_ _ ye — the Jews especially, for whom the address to the rest was intended.

_ _ enchanters — augurs [Calvin], from a root, the “eyes,” that is, lookers at the stars and other means of taking omens of futurity; or another root, a “fixed time,” observers of times: forbidden in the law (Leviticus 19:26; Deuteronomy 18:10, Deuteronomy 18:11, Deuteronomy 18:14).
