Commentary on Jeremiah 27:8
God declares judgment on any nation that refuses to serve Babylon: sword, famine, and pestilence until consumed. This seems to reward submission to evil, but it recognizes God's sovereign appointment of Nebuchadnezzar for that historical moment. Wisdom discerns God's will in specific circumstances rather than applying general principles inappropriately. Resistance to God's appointed instrument brings judgment.
