Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 25:9

9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon my servant , and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof , and against all these nations round about , and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and a perpetual desolation .

I will put it into the heart of all those Kings, whose Territories lye Northward of Iudea, and particularly into the Heart of Nebuchadrezzar the King of Babylon, who in this work shall be my servant though you will not be my Servants in obeying my commands, yet he shall serve me, chap. 27.6. and 43.10.

I will bring them, and their Armies up against this people, and I will put you out of hopes from your alliances with other Nations, for he shall first bring them under his command, thus we read, 2 Kings 24.7. that the King of Babylon, had invaded the Egyptian Dominions, and taken from the River Egypt, unto the River Euphrates, all that pertained to the King of Egypt.
