Jeremiah 51:37 - John Wesley's Notes

Jeremiah 51:37

35 Let the violence done to me and my flesh be upon Babylon,”
The inhabitant of Zion will say;
“And my blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea!”
Jerusalem will say.

36 Therefore thus says the Lord:
“Behold, ^aI will plead your case and take vengeance for you.
^bI will dry up her sea and make her springs dry.

37 ^aBabylon shall become a heap,
A dwelling place for jackals,
^bAn astonishment and a hissing,
Without an inhabitant.

38 They shall roar together like lions,
They shall growl like lions’ whelps.

39 In their excitement I will prepare their feasts;
^aI will make them drunk,
That they may rejoice,
And sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says the Lord.

40 “I will bring them down
Like lambs to the slaughter,
Like rams with male goats.

41 “Oh, how ^aSheshach is taken!
Oh, how ^bthe praise of the whole earth is seized!
How Babylon has become desolate among the nations!

42 ^aThe sea has come up over Babylon;
She is covered with the multitude of its waves.
