Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 27:11

"But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that [nation] will I let remain in their own land, saith Jehovah; and they shall till it, and dwell therein." — Jeremiah 27:11 (ASV)

But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke ... — The advice thus given to the five nations that were seeking an alliance with Judah before the actual invasion is specifically addressed to Judah in the next verse, and is repeated more fully after the population of Judea had been carried into captivity, in Jeremiah 29:1 and following. The first warning had been despised, and the exiles were then reaping the fruit of their self-will, but the principle that obedience was better than resistance remained the same.
