The completeness of Babylon's destruction. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:33

At the end of Jeremiah 50:32 a pause occurs in the discourse. Then the prophet takes up the theme again with renewed emphasis. Were oppressed ; rather, are oppressed . Because the oppression of Israel and Judah still continues, whereas Israel has by this time been amply punished ("received double," Isaiah 40:2 ) for her transgressions, Jehovah will himself interpose. He is, in fact, Israel's Goel ("Redeemer"), i.e. charged, like the next of kin, with the duty of recovering thy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:34

That he may give rest to the land; rather, to the earth. Babylon was one of the great world empires; we can hardly dispense with this convenient Germanism. It was the wont of the Chaldeans, as Habakkuk puts it ( Habakkuk 1:6 ), "to walk through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that were not theirs." Observe the striking contrast—"rest" to the world which has been too long deprived of it, and "disquiet" to those who have hitherto spread it far and wide (comp. Isaiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:34

The strong Redeemer. I. THE CHARACTER AND POWER OF THE REDEEMER . 1 . God is the Redeemer. He is the Goel , the Friend, Advocate, Avenger, and Saviour of his children. 2 . The almightiness of God is our assurance of redemption. The massive strength of the rock makes it painful for us to fall upon it, and fearful and fatal for it to fall upon us; but this very characteristic renders it a blessing if we rest under its shadow, build on its foundation, or cling to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:34

A strong Redeemer. "Their Redeemer is strong." I. IT WAS NECESSARY THAT HE SHOULD BE SO . 1 . This is true of Israel's Redeemer. See the power ranged against them. Physical, in the might of Babylon and the many hostile nations. Spiritual, in the justice of the sentence under which they were suffering. Moral , in the enfeebling effects of their disobedience, causing despondency, despair, timidity, giving power to evil habits, and making very difficult the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:35

A sword is, etc; should rather be, Sword upon the Chaldea, it is an exclamation equivalent to "Let the Sword come upon the Chaldeans"—that sword which never "returns empty." The wise men are, partly the astronomers and astrologers at the various observatories in Babylonia, whose duty it was to send in monthly reports of the appearances in the sky, which were regarded as having an occult political significance (comp. Isaiah 47:13 ). In the next verse they are called liars, or praters. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:35-37

The sword everywhere. I. THE DESTROYING AGENT . Not a deluge, not fire from heaven, but an ordinary human agent, working with energy and thoroughness. The weapon which Babylon in its greed of conquest had used against Jerusalem is turned against itself. First of all, Babylon looks covetously on the land of Israel, and spoils it of its people and their possessions. And then, enriched, Babylon becomes in turn an object of desire. God has only to leave covetousness and grasping alone,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:35-38

No human aid avails against so terrible a foe; therefore Jehovah calls upon his Sword (see on Jeremiah 47:6 ) to avenge the cause of his people. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 50:33

Were oppressed - are “oppressed together: and all their captors have laid firm hold upon them: they have refused to let them go.” The restoration of Israel and Judah to their land is necessary. As Babylon will not let them go, it must be broken, and its empire destroyed. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 50:34

Redeemer - i. e., גאל gā'al. Yahweh is Israel’s next relative, bound by law to avenge him, as well as to ransom him from captivity. It was the Go’el’s duty also to plead his kinsman’s cause. How thoroughly Yahweh will execute this duty for Israel is shown in the Hebrew by the triple repetition of the same word; literally “in pleading He will plead their plea.”The land ... - Rather, “the earth.” Babylon has hitherto by its ambition kept the world in unrest: now by its fall men everywhere can... read more
