Jeremiah 51:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 51:15

13 ^aO you who dwell by many waters,
Abundant in treasures,
Your end has come,
The measure of your covetousness.

14 ^aThe Lord of hosts has sworn by Himself:
“Surely I will fill you with men, ^bas with locusts,
And they shall lift ^cup a shout against you.”

15 ^aHe has made the earth by His power;
He has established the world by His wisdom,
And ^bstretched out the heaven by His understanding.

16 When He utters His voice—
There is a multitude of waters in the heavens:
^a“He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
He makes lightnings for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His treasuries.”

17 ^aEveryone is dull-hearted, without knowledge;
Every metalsmith is put to shame by the carved image;
^bFor his molded image is falsehood,
And there is no breath in them.

18 They are futile, a work of errors;
In the time of their punishment they shall perish.

19 The Portion of Jacob is not like them,
For He is the Maker of all things;
And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance.
The Lord of hosts is His name.

20 “You^a are My battle-ax and weapons of war:
For with you I will break the nation in pieces;
With you I will destroy kingdoms;

21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider;
With you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider;
