Jeremías 51:7-8

7 Copa de oro ha sido Babilonia en la mano del SEÑOR, que embriagaba toda la tierra. De su vino bebieron las naciones; se enloquecieron, por tanto, las naciones.

8 De repente cae Babilonia y se hace pedazos. Gemid por ella, traed bálsamo para su dolor; quizá se cure.

Jeremías 51:7-8 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JEREMIAH 51

The former part of this chapter is a continuation of the prophecy of the preceding chapter, concerning the destruction of Babylon, Jer 51:1-58; the latter part of it contains a prophecy of Jeremiah sent to the captives in Babylon by the hand of Seraiah, with the copy of the above prophecy against Babylon, and an order to fasten a stone to it, and cast it into the river Euphrates, as a sign, confirming the utter and irreparable ruin of Babylon, Jer 51:59-64.
