Yeremia 28:14
Konteks28:14 For the Lord God of Israel who rules over all 1 says, “I have put an irresistible yoke of servitude on all these nations 2 so they will serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. And they will indeed serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals.”’” 3
Daniel 2:37-38
Konteks2:37 “You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has granted you sovereignty, power, strength, and honor. 2:38 Wherever human beings, 4 wild animals, 5 and birds of the sky live – he has given them into your power. 6 He has given you authority over them all. You are the head of gold.
[28:14] 1 tn Heb “Yahweh of armies, the God of Israel.” See the study notes on 2:19 and 7:3 for this title.
[28:14] 2 tn Heb “An iron yoke I have put on the necks of all these nations.”
[28:14] 3 sn The emphasis is on the absoluteness of Nebuchadnezzar’s control. The statement is once again rhetorical and not to be taken literally. See the study note on 27:6.
[2:38] 4 tn Aram “the sons of man.”
