Jeremías 50:16-52 NVI

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:41-46

The Invaders From The North Before Whom Babylon Will Quail And Who Will Finally Take Babylon (Jeremiah 50:41-46 ). We must not judge ancient descriptions in terms of modern geography. They had no atlases to guide them. To the Jews Egypt and North Africa was the South. The Great Sea (the Mediterranean), and the people beyond it, was to the West. The Arabian desert was to the East. All else was to the North. And major trouble always came on them from the North. The ‘people come from the north’... 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 50:16

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:17

By Israel is here meant the whole twelve tribes (though sometimes it signifieth the ten tribes in opposition to Judah); they were all wandering sheep, they became penally scattered sheep. Enemies as fierce and cruel as lions had seized them, and carried them into captivity. First the king of Assyria devoured the ten tribes, which were strictly called Israel, 2 Kings 17:6. Then Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon took Jerusalem, as we heard, Jeremiah 39:0, and carried away the people, and burnt... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:18

God may justly punish those who do the things which he hath commanded them to do, if they do it not in that manner which. he directeth, or if what they do be not done in obedience to his command, but in satisfaction to their own lusts, which was the case of the Assyrians, Isaiah 10:7. As I have punished the king of Assyria: some refer this to the punishment of the Assyrians in the destruction of Sennacherib and his army in the time of Hezekiah, but the prophet seemeth here to speak of a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:19

This must be understood of Judah, which was part of that people who were called Israel, for to this day we have neither read nor heard of the ten tribes being brought back again to their habitation. The only difficulty is, how it is said that the Jews upon their return should feed upon Carmel and Bashan, and Mount Ephraim and Gilead, which were places that belonged not to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin: to which it is answered, that these places were granted to the Jews by Demetrius the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:20

Some here restrain the term iniquity to the idolatry of the Jews, which indeed was their great sin, which God did more especially punish them for; and after the captivity of Babylon we do not read of their offending in that kind, which was according to the prophecy of Isaiah 27:9, that when God should make the stones of the altar as chalk-stones that are beaten asunder, the groves and the images should not stand up. But the last words seem to guide us to a larger sense of the term iniquity, and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:21

There is some disputes amongst interpreters, whether the words here, Merathaim and Pekod, be to be taken as common nouns, the one signifying rebels or rulers, the other visitation, because the Chaldeans were rebels against the Lord, and were great rulers over all the contiguous nations; or whether they be proper names of some places which Cyrus passed by, or, it may be, took in, and conquered in his way to Babylon. The latter are God’s words by his prophet, like the former, commanding him with... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:23

The latter part of the verse expounds the former; God had made the Babylonians his hammer, to break other nations in pieces, now it was itself broken: the particle how may be understood either as expressing triumph and rejoicing, or admiration, or as inquiring how such a thing could be in the last sense. The next verse is an answer to this. read more
