Jeremiah 50:11-34 KJV

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:17-20

Those Who Misuse God’s People Will Be Punished Accordingly Whilst The Restoration Of His People Is Sure (Jeremiah 50:17-20 ). Babylon’s great crime lay in what it had done to God’s people. Like Assyria before it, its armies had descended on hapless Israel/Judah like a pack of lions separating off one of the sheep from the flock and hunting it down to its death. The king of Assyria had done it first, devouring the sheep so that northern Israel ceased to be. Now Nebuchadrezzar had done the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:21-32

YHWH Calls On The Nations To Fulfil His Will As Regards Babylon (Jeremiah 50:21-32 ). We should note here how personal God’s involvement is seen to be in the judgment coming on Babylon. It is in accordance with His commands (Jeremiah 50:22). It is He Who has laid a snare for, and has ensnared Babylon (Jeremiah 50:24). It is He Who has opened His armoury and brought forth His weapons (Jeremiah 50:25). It is He Who is against them and it is the time of His visitation (Jeremiah 50:31). It is He... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:33-34

YHWH Will Act On Behalf Of His People (Jeremiah 50:33-34 ). One reason why it was necessary to bring judgment on Babylon was because otherwise God’s people would not be released. While they had a certain amount of freedom, there were apparently strict regulations which prevented them from returning to their homeland. This applied both to the children of Israel exiled under the Assyrian empire, and the children of Judah exiled under the Babylonian. All were now being oppressed. And those who... read more

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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:11

They rejoiced at the ruin of the Jews; the same thing is laid to the charge of the Edomites, Obadiah 1:12. The Chaldeans were God’s rod to scourge the Jews; but when men are made use of by God, as his rod and scourge, they ought not to put off humanity, but to behave themselves decently, and as persons that are sensible of the miseries which their brethren suffer. God calls them his heritage, because they formerly were a people whom he owned above all other people. There is some difference... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:12

Your chief City Babylon, or your country, which is the common mother of all the Chaldeans, shall be destroyed, or shall be ashamed of you, who are not able to defend her. The sense here seems a little difficult, because it appears no such strange thing that the hindermost of the nations should be a wilderness. It is therefore probable that the words shall be are to be understood before the hindermost of the nations; our translation supplieth them after; so the reading will be, it shall be the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:13

It shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate; the same thing was threatened against Babylon, Isaiah 13:20, It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. Shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues: it seemeth to be a proverbial speech made use of to express the miserable state of a place; we had it before, Jeremiah 49:17, applied to Edom. It is according to the threatening, Deuteronomy 28:37. See Jeremiah 25:9,Jeremiah 25:11;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:14

The prophet calls to the Medes and Persians, with those who should come with them to their assistance, to put themselves in military order ready to come up against Babylon. The Persians (as was noted before) were very famous for the bow, therefore he speaketh unto them as an army of archers, to shoot at the Babylonians, and to spare no arrows; because Babylon had sinned against the Lord exceedingly, as Genesis 13:13, by their idolatry, luxury, and cruel usage of the Jews, &c. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:15

Shout against her round about; either as soldiers use to shout when they fall upon their enemy, or as they use to shout and triumph when they are entered city, or whet their enemies flee. She hath given her hand; either acknowledging themselves overcome, and yielding themselves to the power of their enemies, or, as some think, confederating with the Lydians; but the former is more probable Her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: that is, she is wholly subdued and conquered, as if... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:16

We are told that Babylon was so large a city, that with the walls of it there was much ploughed ground: or else the threatening imports that God would deal more severely with Babylon, than conquerors use to do with places which they conquer, who use to spare and leave behind then ploughmen, and such as use to till the ground, but in the destruction of Babylon it should not be so. They shall flee every one to his own land: he speaks either of such stranger as for commerce had their abodes in... read more
