Joseph Parker

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 50:21-32

I only detain the Reader, to make one remark on this passage, though it furnisheth out many; and the one I beg the Reader particularly to observe is, in my view, a most important one; namely, that Babylon's sin, in the cruelty manifested to Israel, was directed against the Lord. She hath been proud against the Lord. Yes! The hatred manifested against the Lord's people, is on the Lord's account. So saith Jesus, and blessed be his dear name, that it is so. Turn to that scripture, and you will... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:21-32

21-32 The forces are mustered and empowered to destroy Babylon. Let them do what God demands, and they shall bring to pass what he threatens. The pride of men's hearts sets God against them, and ripens them apace for ruin. Babylon's pride must be her ruin; she has been proud against the Holy One of Israel; who can keep those up whom God will throw down? read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 50:21-46

The Enemies of Babylon Summoned to the Attack v. 21. Go up against the land of Merathaim, "of double defiance," a name applied to Babylon on account of its rebellion against Jehovah and His commandments, even against it and against the inhabitants of Pekod, "of visitation," since Babylon was now to be visited by the punishment of God; waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, to the point of total extermination, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, the heathen... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

The last of the prophecies concerning the nations has to do with Babylon. Throughout the whole of Jeremiah's prophetic utterances, she has been seen as the instrument of God's judgment. Finally, on account of her own sin and corruption, that judgment must inevitably fall upon her. That is the great burden of the message. It is perfectly evident throughout that the prophet had in mind the nations of Judah and Israel, and what he said concerning Babylon had its direct bearing on these as the... read more
