Jeremiah 51:49
Compare all
47 Therefore behold, the days are coming
That I will bring judgment on the carved images of Babylon;
Her whole land shall be ashamed,
And all her slain shall fall in her midst.
48 Then athe heavens and the earth and all that is in them
Shall sing joyously over Babylon;
bFor the plunderers shall come to her from the north,” says the Lord. 
49 As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall,
So at Babylon the slain of all the earth shall fall.
50 aYou who have escaped the sword,
Get away! Do not stand still!
bRemember the Lord afar off,
And let Jerusalem come to your mind. 
51 aWe are ashamed because we have heard reproach.
Shame has covered our faces,
For strangers bhave come into the sanctuaries of the Lord’s house.

Jeremiah 51:49

Of all the earth - This term must be understood in a restrained sense; the Chaldeans coming up from all parts of Chaldea to help Babylon, were slain there, as by the means of Babylon the Israelites were slain that came from all parts of Judea to help Jerusalem.
