22‘They will be carried to Babylon and will remain there until the day I attend to them again,’ declares the LORD. ‘Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’”

Jeremiah 27:22 Summary
This verse is saying that God is in control, even when it seems like everything is being taken away. He allows things to be carried off to Babylon, but He promises to bring them back and restore them to their original place. This is like what God does for us, as seen in Romans 8:28, where it says He works all things together for our good. God has a plan to redeem and restore us, and we can trust in His promise to take care of us, just like He took care of the items in the temple, as seen in 1 Kings 8:29.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for God to 'attend to them again' in Jeremiah 27:22?
This phrase suggests that God will once again take notice of and care for the items being carried to Babylon, much like He does for His people, as seen in Psalm 138:8, where David says God will 'fulfill His purpose' for him.
Why did God allow the items from the house of the Lord to be taken to Babylon?
God allowed this to happen as a form of judgment, as seen in Jeremiah 27:20, where it says Nebuchadnezzar took the items that the previous king of Babylon did not take, and also as a way to fulfill His promise to bring His people back to Jerusalem, as stated in Jeremiah 27:22.
What is the significance of God restoring the items to 'this place'?
The phrase 'this place' refers to Jerusalem, which was the center of worship for the Israelites, as seen in 1 Kings 8:29, where Solomon dedicates the temple and asks God to hear the prayers of His people in that place.
How does this verse relate to God's overall plan for His people?
This verse shows that even in judgment, God has a plan to restore and redeem His people, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11, where God says He has plans to prosper and not to harm His people, and to give them a hope and a future.

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 27:22
They shall be carried to Babylon,.... As they were; and of which, with others, there is a particular account in 2 Kings 25:13; and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith to the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 27:22
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 27:22
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be: see the fulfilling of this prophecy, ,; and that they abode in Babylon till the end of the captivity, appeareth from , where we read of Belshazzar’ s sending for them to drink wine in at his fatal feast. Until the day that I visit them; that is, until the expiration of the time of the Jewish captivity, which was seventy years. Then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place; the fulfilling of that part of the prophecy we have , in these words, Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods; even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives, thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand. All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem. So punctually was Jeremiah’ s prophecy in this place fulfilled, and so exactly doth one part of holy writ agree with another, which are great arguments to prove the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 27:22
Jeremiah 27:22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.Ver. 22. Until the day that I visit them.] Till by my providence I appoint a great part of them to be brought back again, and to be new consecrated to my service.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 27:22
(22) They shall be carried to Babylon.—The fulfilment of the prediction is recorded in 2 Kings 25:13-17. Until the day that I visit them.—The date is not given definitely, but seventy years had been already named as the period between the plunder and the restoration (Jeremiah 25:12). Here the undefined vagueness of “the day that I will visit them” is contrasted with the equally indefinite but more exciting “shortly” of the false prophets (Jeremiah 27:16).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 27:22
Verse 22. They shall be carried to Babylon] Far from those already taken being brought back, those which now remain shall be carried thither, unless ye submit to the Chaldeans. They did not submit, and the prophecy was literally fulfilled; see Jeremiah 52:17-23; 2Kg 25:13, and the other places in the margin. (2 Chronicles 36:18)
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 27:22
16–22. The same message is addressed to the priests and the people concerning the false prophets. More than half the contents of this part of the ch. are lacking in LXX, the main difference between them and MT. being that the latter includes the promise of the restoration of the sacred vessels to Jerusalem. Co. grants the LXX a relative originality, considering that the process of amplification is shewn in their Version in an earlier stage than that which is presented by the Hebrew.
