Jeremiah 50:41 - Exposition

Jeremiah 51:4 .—The instruments of the judgment. The section is partly a cento from other prophecies. Thus Jeremiah 51:41-43 are a repetition of Jeremiah 6:22-24 , except that what is there said of Jerusalem is here applied to Babylon; and verses 44-46 of Jeremiah 49:19-21 , the reference, however, being in the latter passage to Edom. In verse 46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon would be more literally rendered, At the cry, Babylon is taken.
