Jeremiah 50:29 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 50:29

27 Slay all her ^abulls,
Let them go down to the slaughter.
Woe to them!
For their day has come, the time of ^btheir punishment.

28 The voice of those who flee and escape from the land of Babylon
^aDeclares in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God,
The vengeance of His temple.

29 “Call together the archers against Babylon.
All you who bend the bow, encamp against it all around;
Let none of them¹ escape.
^aRepay her according to her work;
According to all she has done, do to her;
^bFor she has been proud against the Lord,
Against the Holy One of Israel.

30 ^aTherefore her young men shall fall in the streets,
And all her men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord.

31 “Behold, I am against you,
O most haughty one!” says the Lord God of hosts;
“For your day has come,
¹The time that I will punish you.

32 The most ^aproud shall stumble and fall,
And no one will raise him up;
^bI will kindle a fire in his cities,
And it will devour all around him.”

33 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“The children of Israel were oppressed,
Along with the children of Judah;
All who took them captive have held them fast;
They have refused to let them go.

34 ^aTheir Redeemer is strong;
^bThe Lord of hosts is His name.
He will thoroughly plead their ^ccase,
That He may give rest to the land,
And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

35 “A sword is against the Chaldeans,” says the Lord,
“Against the inhabitants of Babylon,
And ^aagainst her princes and ^bher wise men.

36 A sword is ^aagainst the soothsayers, and they will be fools.
A sword is against her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.

37 A sword is against their horses,
Against their chariots,
And against all ^athe mixed peoples who are in her midst;
And ^bthey will become like women.
A sword is against her treasures, and they will be robbed.
