But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
The nations that ... serve him ... shall till it. The same Hebrew х `aabad (H5647)] expresses serve and till, or cultivate. Serve ye the king of Babylon, and the land will serve you (Calvin).
