ירמיהו, פרק כ״ח, פסוק ב׳

A sudden promise of immediate redemption and freedom from oppression stands in sharp contrast to the looming prophecies of destruction. Spoken in the name of God, this message completely reverses the actions and teachings of Jeremiah. At that time, Jeremiah had made physical bonds and yokes for himself to show the people that they had to submit to their enemies [מלבי״ם].

The new declaration claims that the Babylonian empire's power has come to an absolute end. The king of Babylon will no longer have the authority to rule or enslave anyone else [מצודת דוד].

This freedom is presented not as a future hope, but as a finished fact that is already a reality in the land of Judah. Furthermore, the message carries a specific promise that within two years, the heavy burden of the Babylonian king will also be lifted from the exiles of Judah who are already living in Babylon [מלבי״ם].
