エレミヤ書 50:23-24 JC

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

YHWH’s Judgment On Babylon And His Promises Concerning The Restoration Of The Remnant Of His People (Jeremiah 50:1 to Jeremiah 51:64 ). The series of prophecies against the nations had commenced with the prophecy against Egypt, the greatest nation of the area south of the Euphrates. It now finishes with a declaration of judgment against mighty Babylon, which at this time towered over the nations of the whole area. It was also the centre of all that was seen as debauched and debased, it... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:21-32

YHWH Calls On The Nations To Fulfil His Will As Regards Babylon (Jeremiah 50:21-32 ). We should note here how personal God’s involvement is seen to be in the judgment coming on Babylon. It is in accordance with His commands (Jeremiah 50:22). It is He Who has laid a snare for, and has ensnared Babylon (Jeremiah 50:24). It is He Who has opened His armoury and brought forth His weapons (Jeremiah 50:25). It is He Who is against them and it is the time of His visitation (Jeremiah 50:31). It is He... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Jeremiah 50:1 to Jeremiah 51:58 . Babylon.— This long and monotonous prophecy, which is without order or logical development of ideas, is largely a compilation from the prophetic writings of Jeremiah and others ( cf., e.g., Jeremiah 50:41 ff., Jeremiah 51:15). It presupposes the destruction of Jerusalem, apparently as a remote rather than a recent event. Its idea of Babylon is that of a cruel tyrant to be punished by Yahweh, not that of a Divinely commissioned agent of Yahweh’ s wrath... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:23

The latter part of the verse expounds the former; God had made the Babylonians his hammer, to break other nations in pieces, now it was itself broken: the particle how may be understood either as expressing triumph and rejoicing, or admiration, or as inquiring how such a thing could be in the last sense. The next verse is an answer to this. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 50:24

We are told that Cyrus with his great army diverted the river Euphrates, so as his army passed over and surprised the city so suddenly, that those in the midst of it did not know it when part of the city was already taken. God directed Cyrus to this stratagem for the taking of the city, which the prophet calls a snare, wherein the Babylonians were taken. The reason of this unexpected ruin to this great people was their sinning against the Lord, Jeremiah 50:14, which is here called a striving... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 50:1-46

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—This and the following chapter constitute one prophecy against Babylon; and the date of its authorship is given in chap. Jeremiah 51:59 : “the fourth year of Zedekiah.” Jeremiah delivered this written prophecy to Seriah, the king’s chamberlain and Baruch’s brother (cf. chap. Jeremiah 32:12), who accompanied Zedekiah the king to Babylon, probably at Nebuchadnezzar’s summons, for some imposing state occasion: the prophet’s design being... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Shall we turn now to Jeremiah chapter 50.Chapter 50 begins with the words,The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet ( Jeremiah 50:1 ).The end of chapter 51 declares, "And thou shalt say, 'Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her, and they shall be weary.' Thus far are the words of Jeremiah." In other words, this is the completion of the words of Jeremiah. Now I only bring that up to show... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Jeremiah 50:1 . The word that the Lord spake against Babylon. Messiah in person spake to the prophet, as is stated in Jeremiah 48:1. But while he spake against Babylon, his lips dropped with grace and mercy upon Zion, the habitation of his holiness. Of the fall of Babylon, see on Isaiah 13:14. Isaiah 13:21., where the poetry is beautiful and sublime. Fragments however remain to be gleaned here. The city, according to the best accounts which can be collected from Herodotus, Xenophon,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 50:23

Jer 50:23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! Ver. 23. How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder! ] Babylon was the maul or hammer of many nations, Nimrod began it, and his successors took after him. Charles Martel, King of France, was so called for like cause. Augustine also was worthily styled Haereticorum malleus, the hammer of heretics; and Mr Arthur Hildersam, Schismaticorum malleus, the maul of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 50:24

Jer 50:24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. Ver. 24. I have laid a snare for thee. ] Thou wild bull. Jer 50:27 Babylon was unexpectedly taken by a stratagem, while they were in the midst of their revels. And thou wast not aware. ] The palace was suddenly seized upon; but some parts of the city knew not that the enemy was entered till three days after; for it... read more
