Jeremiah 50:9-11. For, lo, I will raise against Babylon, &c. See Jeremiah 50:41, and Jeremiah 51:27. From thence, or, as משׁם , may be rendered, immediately, she shall be taken. Their arrows, &c. The Medes and Persians were famous for the use of the bow. And Chaldea shall be a spoil To all her destroyers, who shall enrich themselves by plundering her. All that spoil her shall be satisfied Namely, with spoil and plunder, for Chaldea, with Babylon its metropolis, was, at that... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 50:1-46

A message concerning Babylon (50:1-46)Finally, Jeremiah sees that the nation that God used to punish Judah will itself be punished. Bel, or Merodach (Marduk), the chief god of Babylon, will be powerless to save Babylon when the attack comes (50:1-3).Since the Judeans will by this time have humbly repented before God, the downfall of Babylon will give them the opportunity to return to the land where their ancestors once lived (4-5). (When Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon in 539 BC, he promptly... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:11

"Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heifer that treadeth out the grain, and neigh as strong horses; your mother shall be utterly put to shame; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. Because of the wrath of Jehovah she shall not be inhabited, but shall be wholly desolate; everyone that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 50:11

11. ( :-). grown fat—and so, skip wantonly. at grass—fat and frisky. But there is a disagreement of gender in Hebrew reading thus. The Keri is better: "a heifer threshing"; the strongest were used for threshing, and as the law did not allow their mouth to be muzzled in threshing ( :-), they waxed wanton with eating. bellow as bulls—rather, "neigh as steeds," literally, "strong ones," a poetical expression for steeds (see on :-) [MAURER]. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 50:11

Babylon had rejoiced gleefully when she plundered Yahweh’s heritage, behaving like a young heifer at threshing time or like a lusty stallion. In ancient Israel, a man’s heritage (Heb. nahala) was the land he inherited from his ancestors. Jeremiah pictured the land of Israel as Yahweh’s heritage (cf. Jeremiah 2:7; Jeremiah 16:18). 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 50:11

(11) Destroyers of mine heritage.—Better, plunderers or robbers.Ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass.—Better, the Hebrew text being in the singular, thou leapedst as the heifer while threshing. The rule of Deuteronomy 25:4 (“Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn “) made the image significant enough. The English version has, however, the support of the LXX. and Vulg.And bellow as bulls.—Better, thou didst neigh as strong steeds. The verb is the same as in Jeremiah 5:8, the... 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
