耶利米书 50:15 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 50:9-20

God is here by his prophet, as afterwards in his providence, proceeding in his controversy with Babylon. Observe, I. The commission and charge given to the instruments that were to be employed in destroying Babylon. The army that is to do it is called an assembly of great nations (Jer. 50:9), the Medes and Persians, and all their allies and auxiliaries; it is called an assembly, because regularly formed by the divine will and counsel to do this execution. God will raise them up to do it, will... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 50:15

Shout against her round about ,.... As soldiers do when they make an assault upon a place, to encourage one another, and dismay the besieged; just as the Israelites did when they surrounded Jericho: she hath given her hand ; submitted to the conqueror, and sued for mercy. The Targum is, "she is delivered into her hand;' the hand of the Persians, by two princes of Babylon, who went off to Cyrus, and showed him how to take the city; or rather it was delivered by Zopyrus into the hands... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 50:15

Verse 15 Jeremiah proceeds in exhorting the Persians and the Medes, not that he had ever spoken to them; but this mode of speaking, as it has been said, availed to confirm the minds of the godly, so that they might feel assured that what had proceeded from the mouth of Jeremiah was not vain. Here, then, he assumes the person of God himself, and with authority commands the Persians and the Medes as to what they were to do. He says again, Cry aloud against her. By crying aloud or shouting, he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:1-46

Jeremiah 50:1-46 . AND 51. ON BABYLON . This attitude of reserve is not assumed without substantial grounds, derived from two sources—the epilogue ( Jeremiah 51:59-64 ) and the prophecy itself. First, as to the epilogue. It is clear that the words, "and they shall be weary," are out of place in Jeremiah 51:64 , and that they are wrongly repeated from Jeremiah 51:58 . But how came they to be repeated? Because, originally, the declaration, "Thus far are the words of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:6-20

Israel as lost sheep. This is a favourite theocratic title of Israel—the sheep of God's pasture. In itself an appeal to the traditional pastoral character of the nation, and to the marvellous guidance of their forefathers by Jehovah through the wilderness. He was the Shepherd of Israel. The extent of their apostasy is here described. I. IT WAS COMPLETE . 1 . They had wandered. The allurements of idolatry had led them on and on, and they had at length yielded to them. They... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 50:15

Shout against her ; i.e. raise the battle cry (comp. Joshua 6:16 ; Isaiah 42:13 ). She hath given her hand. This action is generally mentioned as a pledge of friendship or a ratification of a promise ( 2 Kings 10:15 ; Ezekiel 17:18 ; Ezra 10:19 ); but the notion of surrender or submission would naturally follow (so in 1 Chronicles 29:24 ; 2 Chronicles 30:8 ). Dr. Payne Smith well quotes the words of Turnus, when begging his life of AE neas, "Vicisti, et victum tendere... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 50:15

Shout - i. e., spoken of the war-cry. So in Isaiah 42:13, where God is compared to a warrior, it is said He shall shout (the King James Version cry), i. e., raise the war-cry.Site hath given her hand - The sign of submission (compare 1 Chronicles 29:24 margin).Foundations - Or, buttresses. The Septuagint: “battlements.” read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 50:12-16

Jeremiah 50:12-16. Your mother shall be sore confounded Namely, Babylon the metropolis, or mother-city of the empire. Or, your country shall be ashamed of you, her children, who are not able to defend her. Behold, the hindermost of the nations, &c. The translation of this clause in the Vulgate seems much preferable to ours, Ecce novissima erit in gentibus, et deserta, invia, et arens, behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, desolate and dry. Because of the... read more
