Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 44:29

_ _ this ... sign unto you — The calamity of Pharaoh-hophra (see on Jeremiah 44:30) shall be a sign to you that as he shall fall before his enemy, so you shall subsequently fall before Nebuchadnezzar (Matthew 24:8) [Grotius]. Calvin makes the “sign” to be simultaneous with the event signified, not antecedent to it, as in Exodus 3:12. The Jews believed Egypt impregnable, so shut in was it by natural barriers. The Jews being “punished in this place” will be a sign that their view is false, and God’s threat true. He calls it “a sign unto you,” because God’s prediction is equivalent to the event, so that they may even now take it as a sign. When fulfilled it would cease to be a sign to them: for they would be dead.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 44:20-30.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 44:29

This shall be a sign — Signs are usually antecedent to the thing signified, but the word is taken in a larger notion in this place for that which should attend the thing signified by it.
