They shall be carried to Babylon - Far from those already taken being brought back, those which now remain shall be carried thither, unless ye submit to the Chaldeans. They did not submit, and the prophecy was literally fulfilled; see Jeremiah 52:17-23; 2-Kings 25:13, 2-Chronicles 36:18.
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit (h) them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
(h) That is, for the space of seventy years till I have caused the Medes and Persians to overcome the Chaldeans.
They shall be carried to Babylon,.... As they were; and of which, with others, there is a particular account in 2-Kings 25:13;
and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith to the Lord; the Chaldeans in a way of wrath, and the Jews in a way of grace and favour; which was at the end of the seventy years' captivity; and so long the vessels of the sanctuary continued there; here we read of them as in use the very night that Belshazzar was slain, and Babylon taken, Daniel 5:2;
then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place; which was fulfilled when the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia to give leave to the Jews to return to their own land, and rebuild their temple; and at the same time delivered into the hands of Sheshbazzar, prince of Judah, the vessels of the temple, Ezra 1:1.
until . . . I visit them--in wrath by Cyrus (Jeremiah 32:5). In seventy years from the first carrying away of captives in Jehoiachin's reign (Jeremiah 29:10; 2-Chronicles 36:21).
restore them--by the hand of Cyrus (Ezra 1:7). By Artaxerxes (Ezra 7:19).
