And lift himself up against her in his armor.
Do not spare her young men;
bUtterly destroy all her army.
By his God, the Lord of hosts,
Though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.”
And every one save his life!
Do not be cut off in her iniquity,
For bthis is the time of the Lord’s vengeance;
cHe shall recompense her.
That made all the earth drunk.
bThe nations drank her wine;
Therefore the nations care deranged.

Jeremiah 51:5
For Israel hath not been forsaken - God still continued his prophets among them; he had never cast them wholly off. Even in the midst of wrath - highly deserved and inflicted punishment, he has remembered mercy; and is now about to crown what he has done by restoring them to their own land. I conceive asham , which we translate sin, as rather signifying punishment, which meaning it often has.
