Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 50:33

33. Israel and . . . Judah were oppressed—He anticipates an objection, in order to answer it: Ye have been, no doubt, "oppressed," therefore ye despair of deliverance; but, remember your "Redeemer is strong," and therefore can and will deliver you. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 50:33-34

Presently the Israelites and Judahites were oppressed, and their captors would not let them go, but their Redeemer (Heb. go’el), Yahweh Almighty, was strong (cf. Exodus 6:6; Exodus 7:4-5; Exodus 9:1-3; Exodus 9:13-17; Exodus 10:3; Exodus 15:13). He would plead their case vigorously by contending with their enemy. Formerly, Yahweh had brought charges against His people as a prosecutor (Jeremiah 2:9), but in the future He would act as their defense attorney (cf. Jeremiah 51:36). The Lord would... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

The Fall of Babylon and the Restoration of IsraelThe prophecy concerning Babylon is ascribed to Jeremiah in Jeremiah 51:59. This, however, need not mean more than that it represents the tone of Jeremiah’s utterances as expanded by a follower, e.g. Baruch, at a later date. The reasons for doubting Jeremiah’s authorship aro: (a) he elsewhere speaks in friendly terms of the Chaldeans; here their overthrow is predicted; (b) the style and words betray another writer; (c) the knowledge displayed of... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 50:33

(33) Were oppressed.—Better, are oppressed, and so on through the verse. The English tense is misleading. The prophet, having described the doom that lies in the future, now returns to the present, and finds in the actual state of Israel that which made the destruction of Babylon a necessary condition of its liberation. All appeals to the mercy of their conquerors, Assyrian or Chaldæan, had been made in vain. read more

The Way of Contrition Jeremiah 50:4-5 Our spiritual life as a life of contrition is typified for us in the return of the children of Israel to Jerusalem from their long exile in Babylon. I. Of necessity, contrition must be the first stage of spiritual life. For what is contrition? The Bible definition of contrition is, sorrow, sorrow that is in union with God. Contrition is no passing paroxysm, it is a state of abiding spiritual sorrow; we are taken by the Spirit of God into union with God,... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

CHAPTERS 50-51 Babylon These two final chapters contain a great prophecy concerning Babylon, her overthrow and doom. The fifty-first chapter closes with the statement “thus far are the words of Jeremiah.” There is a direct statement that Jeremiah wrote all these words. We find it at the close of Jeremiah 51:59-64 . “Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.” It would be a brazen infidelity which says Jeremiah did... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Question and Attitude Jer 50:5 Inquiry and attitude should correspond. You should look as if you meant your questions. Do not let us have any discrepancy in the man himself; no asking of questions about one way whilst we are looking over the shoulder towards another. Do not mock kind Heaven. "Thitherward": literally, Hither-ward. Jeremiah is writing in Judah, and he says the time will come when the returning ones will face this way; and they will be asking from step to step, Which is the road... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 50:33-34

And doth not those sweet consolations belong to God's people at all times, and under all exercises. God's Israel, and Judah, are oppressed together. Every hand is against the household of faith. Men may detain them for a while; but they are God's property, and therefore God's care. Their Goel kinsmen owns them, and will plead their cause. And when he ariseth, woe to the enemies of his people. He will give rest to his people, and their land shall be in quiet. Isaiah 65:19-25 . read more
