耶利米书 50:37 RCUVSS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Question and Attitude Jer 50:5 Inquiry and attitude should correspond. You should look as if you meant your questions. Do not let us have any discrepancy in the man himself; no asking of questions about one way whilst we are looking over the shoulder towards another. Do not mock kind Heaven. "Thitherward": literally, Hither-ward. Jeremiah is writing in Judah, and he says the time will come when the returning ones will face this way; and they will be asking from step to step, Which is the road... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 50:35-46

I must not detain the Reader, by entering upon the many interesting particulars here enumerated of God's judgments upon Babylon. I only briefly observe, that the history of that kingdom hath fully shown the truth of the divine predictions. For where is that once great city, whose magnificence and glory was so highly spoken of? It is, as the Lord said it should be, now a desert for beasts and the reptiles of the earth. Thus Isaiah prophesied of it, and so it came to pass, and is fulfilled even... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:33-46

33-46 It is Israel's comfort in distress, that, though they are weak, their Redeemer is strong. This may be applied to believers, who complain of the dominion of sin and corruption, and of their own weakness and manifold infirmities. Their Redeemer is able to keep what they commit to him; and sin shall not have dominion over them. He will give them that rest which remains for the people of God. Also here is Babylon's sin, and their punishment. The sins are, idolatry and persecution. He that... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 50:21-46

The Enemies of Babylon Summoned to the Attack v. 21. Go up against the land of Merathaim, "of double defiance," a name applied to Babylon on account of its rebellion against Jehovah and His commandments, even against it and against the inhabitants of Pekod, "of visitation," since Babylon was now to be visited by the punishment of God; waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, to the point of total extermination, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, the heathen... read more

9. ISRAEL FREE, THE SWORD UPON BABYLONJeremiah 50:33-4033 Thus saith Jehovah Zebaoth:Oppressed are the children of Israel and the children of Judah together,And all their captors hold them fast,They refuse to let them go.34 Their Redeemer is strong, Jehovah Zebaoth is his name.He will well prosecute their cause,That he may give rest29 to the land,And procure disquiet to the inhabitants of Babylon.35 A sword upon the Chaldeans, saith Jehovah,And upon the inhabitants of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

The last of the prophecies concerning the nations has to do with Babylon. Throughout the whole of Jeremiah's prophetic utterances, she has been seen as the instrument of God's judgment. Finally, on account of her own sin and corruption, that judgment must inevitably fall upon her. That is the great burden of the message. It is perfectly evident throughout that the prophet had in mind the nations of Judah and Israel, and what he said concerning Babylon had its direct bearing on these as the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

YHWH’s Judgment On Babylon And His Promises Concerning The Restoration Of The Remnant Of His People (Jeremiah 50:1 to Jeremiah 51:64 ). The series of prophecies against the nations had commenced with the prophecy against Egypt, the greatest nation of the area south of the Euphrates. It now finishes with a declaration of judgment against mighty Babylon, which at this time towered over the nations of the whole area. It was also the centre of all that was seen as debauched and debased, it... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:35-40

The Coming Judgment On Babylon In Accordance With YHWH’s Purpose (Jeremiah 50:35-40 ). The opening verses could be called ‘the Song of the Sword’. The sword is mentioned five times. Jeremiah 50:35-37 “A sword is upon the Chaldeans, The word of YHWH, And upon the inhabitants of Babylon, And upon her princes, And upon her wise men. A sword is upon the boasters, And they will become fools, A sword is upon her mighty men, And they will be dismayed.” A sword is upon their horses, And upon their... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Jeremiah 50:1 to Jeremiah 51:58 . Babylon.— This long and monotonous prophecy, which is without order or logical development of ideas, is largely a compilation from the prophetic writings of Jeremiah and others ( cf., e.g., Jeremiah 50:41 ff., Jeremiah 51:15). It presupposes the destruction of Jerusalem, apparently as a remote rather than a recent event. Its idea of Babylon is that of a cruel tyrant to be punished by Yahweh, not that of a Divinely commissioned agent of Yahweh’ s wrath... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:37

A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots; though they be full of chariots and horses, the enemy shall destroy them. By the mingled people some understand those whom the Babylonians had hired to their assistance from other nations; others, such strangers as lived amongst them; others, a people under the power of the Chaldeans, made up of people of several countries. See Jeremiah 25:20,Jeremiah 25:24; Ezekiel 30:5. They seem to signify a people that were not native Chaldeans, but... read more
