Jeremiah 51:27

Compare all

25 “Behold, I am against you, ^aO destroying mountain,
Who destroys all the earth,” says the Lord.
“And I will stretch out My hand against you,
Roll you down from the rocks,
^bAnd make you a burnt mountain.

26 They shall not take from you a stone for a corner
Nor a stone for a foundation,
^aBut you shall be desolate forever,” says the Lord.

27 ^aSet up a banner in the land,
Blow the trumpet among the nations!
^bPrepare the nations against her,
Call ^cthe kingdoms together against her:
Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz.
Appoint a general against her;
Cause the horses to come up like the bristling locusts.

28 Prepare against her the nations,
With the kings of the Medes,
Its governors and all its rulers,
All the land of his dominion.

29 And the land will tremble and sorrow;
For every ^apurpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon,
^bTo make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.

30 The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting,
They have remained in their strongholds;
Their might has failed,
^aThey became like women;
They have burned her dwelling places,
^bThe bars of her gate are broken.

Ararat, Minni - The Greater and Lesser Armenia.

And Ashchenaz - A part of Phrygia, near the Hellespont. So Bochart, Phaleg, lib. 1 c. 3, lib. 3 c. 9. Concerning Ashchenaz Homer seems to speak, Il. 2:370, 371: -

"Ascanius, godlike youth, and Phorcys led

The Phrygians from Ascania' s distant land."

Calmet thinks that the Ascantes, who dwelt in the vicinity of the Tanais, are meant.
