behold
The Hebrew word for "behold" is "הִנֵּה" (hinneh), which serves as a call to attention, urging the listener to focus on the gravity of the message. In the context of prophecy, it often introduces a significant divine action or revelation. Here, it underscores the seriousness of God's impending judgment, demanding the audience's full attention to the divine decree.

I will send for
This phrase indicates God's sovereign control over the events to unfold. The Hebrew verb "שָׁלַח" (shalach) implies commissioning or dispatching with authority. It emphasizes that the forthcoming actions are not random but are orchestrated by God Himself, highlighting His ultimate authority over nations and history.

all the families of the north
The "families of the north" refers to the coalition of nations led by Babylon. Historically, Babylon was located to the east of Judah, but invasions typically came from the north due to the geographical terrain. This phrase signifies the comprehensive nature of the threat, encompassing multiple groups united under Babylon's leadership.

declares the LORD
This phrase, "נְאֻם־יְהוָה" (ne'um-YHWH), is a prophetic formula asserting the divine origin of the message. It reassures the audience that the words spoken are not Jeremiah's own but are directly from God, lending them absolute authority and certainty.

My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
Referring to Nebuchadnezzar as "My servant" is striking, as it illustrates God's use of even pagan rulers to fulfill His purposes. The term "servant" (עֶבֶד, eved) denotes one who carries out the will of another. Despite Nebuchadnezzar's own ambitions, he is unwittingly serving God's plan, demonstrating God's sovereignty over all rulers.

I will bring them against this land and its residents
This phrase conveys the inevitability of judgment upon Judah and its inhabitants. The Hebrew verb "בּוֹא" (bo) means to come or bring, indicating that God is actively directing the course of events. The specificity of "this land" underscores the direct impact on Judah, highlighting the consequences of their disobedience.

and against all the surrounding nations
God's judgment is not limited to Judah but extends to the neighboring nations. This reflects the broader scope of divine justice, where all nations are accountable to God. It also serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of these nations and the widespread impact of Babylon's rise.

I will devote them to destruction
The phrase "devote to destruction" translates the Hebrew "חֵרֶם" (cherem), which refers to something set apart for complete destruction as an act of divine judgment. This term is often associated with holy war, where objects or people are irrevocably given over to God, emphasizing the totality and finality of the judgment.

make them an object of horror and scorn
This phrase describes the aftermath of divine judgment, where the affected nations become a cautionary tale. The Hebrew words for "horror" (שַׁמָּה, shammah) and "scorn" (שְׁרֵקָה, shereqah) convey a sense of desolation and derision, serving as a warning to others of the consequences of defying God.

an everlasting desolation
The term "everlasting" (עוֹלָם, olam) signifies a prolonged, indefinite period, often interpreted as eternal. "Desolation" (שְׁמָמָה, shemamah) indicates a state of utter ruin. Together, they portray a future where the land remains in a state of devastation, symbolizing the enduring impact of God's judgment and the seriousness of turning away from Him.

(9) The families of the north.--The phrase reminds us of the vision of "the seething pot from the face of the north" in Jeremiah 1:13, and includes all the mingled races, Scythians and others, who owned the sway of the Chaldaean king.

Nebuchadrezzar . . . my servant.--The use of the word which is applied by psalmists and prophets to David (Psalm 78:70; 2Samuel 7:8) and to the future Christ (Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 52:13) is every way remarkable. It has its parallel, and, in fact, its explanation, in the language in which Isaiah speaks of Cyrus as the shepherd, the anointed, of Jehovah. (Isaiah 44:28; Isaiah 45:1) Each ruler of the great empires of the world was, in ways he knew not, working out the purposes of God. The phrase "I will utterly destroy" may be noted as specially characteristic of Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 2:34; Deuteronomy 3:6, et al.) and Joshua (Joshua 2:10; Joshua 6:21; Joshua 8:26). . . .

Verse 9. - The families of the north (comp. Jeremiah 1:15, note). And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. This is the rendering of the Targum, the Syriac, and the Vulgate, and corresponds with the reading of a few extant manuscripts. The received text, however, reads, "and unto Nebuchadnezzar," etc. Neither reading is satisfactory. The latter one is intolerably harsh; the former makes Nebuchadnezzar a mere adjunct of the tribes of the north. In the other passages, moreover, where this king is solemnly entitled "my servant," the clause is the most prominent one in the sentence (see Jeremiah 27:6; Jeremiah 43:10). The words in question have a sort of family resemblance to the glosses which meet us occasionally both in the form of the Hebrew text represented by the Massoretic recension, and those by the principal ancient versions. The words are omitted by the Septuagint. My servant. Generally to be a "servant" of Jehovah or of any supposed deity is to be a worshipper. Thus Daniel is called by Darius, "servant of the living God" (Daniel 6:20), and thus Abdallah, "servant of Allah," has become a favorite surname of the followers of Mohammed. In the Book of Jeremiah itself (Jeremiah 30:10; Jeremiah 46:27, 28), and in Ezekiel (Ezekiel 37:25), "my servant" is the form in which Jehovah addresses his chosen people; and in the second part of Isaiah the suffering Messiah is so styled. Here, however, a foreign king is thus entitled. How is this to be explained? Cyrus, no doubt, in Isaiah 44:28, 45:1, is called "my shepherd" and "my anointed one;" but then Cyrus, in the view of the prophet, was a genuine though unconscious worshipper of the true God (Isaiah 41:25), whereas Nebuchadnezzar was known to be a polytheist and an idolater. We must, therefore, take "servant" to be applied to Nebuchadnezzar in a lower sense than to the other bearers of the title. The Hebrew 'ebbed, in fact, may be either "slave" in something approaching to the terrible modern sense, or in the sense in which Eliezer was one (i.e. little less than a son, and a possible heir, Genesis 24:2; Galatians 4:1), and which is still in full force in Arabia. An astonishment (see on Jeremiah 2:11). An hissing (comp. Jeremiah 18:16; Jeremiah 19:8).
