Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:6

"My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place. All that found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, even Jehovah, the hope of their fathers. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:7

Jeremiah 50:7. Their adversaries said, We offend not— "In making them captives." Jeremiah introduces the Chaldean speaking thus by the truest prosopopoeia; for it could not be but the Chaldeans must have known those things which the prophets had foretold concerning the future captivity of the Jews: Nebuchadrezzar himself is a witness, who gave his captains orders to preserve Jeremiah. See Houbigant. read more

"Found them" implies that they were exposed to the attacks of those whoever happened to meet them. adversaries said—for instance, Nebuzara-dan (Jeremiah 40:2; Jeremiah 40:3; compare Jeremiah 40:3- :). The Gentiles acknowledged some supreme divinity. The Jews' guilt was so palpable that they were condemned even in the judgment of heathens.

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 50:6

The Lord’s chosen people had gotten lost like sheep misled by their shepherds. They had wandered on dangerous mountains instead of staying in their safe places of rest. This verse reflects conditions that marked the Israelites long after Cyrus permitted them to return to Palestine. They are still scattered around the world today. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 50:7

Enemies had devoured these "sheep," but had rationalized their sin by saying that the Israelites deserved what they got because they had sinned against their God. Yahweh was a dwelling place for Israel, identified by righteousness and the hope of their forefathers. These conditions describe Israel’s present plight as well as her state during the Babylonian Captivity. read more

John Dummelow

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
