Verse 42
It would be as though the waves of the sea had overwhelmed Babylon.
"There is probably an allusion here to the mythological chaotic waters of the primeval ocean (Tiamat) which, according to the Babylonian myth of creation, were overthrown by the god Marduk when he fought against Tiamat and destroyed her. The fall of Babylon would be of such gigantic proportions that it would appear as nothing less than a reversal of that primeval victory." [Note: Thompson, p. 764. See also Smothers, p. 371; and Harrison, Jeremiah and . . ., p. 187.]
