Verse 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).
