The alternative to rebellion is a willing submission to Babylonian rule, a choice that guarantees nations a stable and continued existence in their homeland. The primary approach among commentators is that accepting the authority of the Babylonian king leads directly to a peaceful and secure daily routine. God will allow any nation that surrenders to rest quietly on its own soil.
Rather than facing disruption, the people will be able to maintain their regular economic and agricultural life. They can farm their fields, plow, plant, and eat the food their land produces without interference. Ultimately, this choice ensures that they can remain safely and permanently in their own homes.
