| Jeremiah 27:2 | Thus saith the Lord, to me: Make thee bands, and chains: and thou shalt put them on thy neck. | Chains. Hebrew, "a yoke and pole," (Calmet) or piece of wood for the necks of slaves. (St. Jerome) --- Thus would the servitude of these nations be clearly represented. (Haydock) --- Bands and chains were proper signs, as they were used to bind captives. (Worthington) |
