Jeremiah 50:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 50:17

15 Shout against her all around;
She has ^agiven her hand,
Her foundations have fallen,
^bHer walls are thrown down;
For ^cit is the vengeance of the Lord.
Take vengeance on her.
As she has done, so do to her.

16 Cut off the sower from Babylon,
And him who handles the sickle at harvest time.
For fear of the oppressing sword
^aEveryone shall turn to his own people,
And everyone shall flee to his own land.

17 “Israel is like ^ascattered sheep;
^bThe lions have driven him away.
First ^cthe king of Assyria devoured him;
Now at last this ^dNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”

18 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
“Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land,
As I have punished the king of ^aAssyria.

19 ^aBut I will bring back Israel to his home,
And he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan;
His soul shall be satisfied on Mount Ephraim and Gilead.

20 In those days and in that time,” says the Lord,
^a“The iniquity of Israel shall be sought, but there shall be none;
And the sins of Judah, but they shall not be found;
For I will pardon those ^bwhom I preserve.

21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim, against it,
And against the inhabitants of ^aPekod.
¹Waste and utterly destroy them,” says the Lord,
“And do ^baccording to all that I have commanded you.

22 ^aA sound of battle is in the land,
And of great destruction.
