Jeremiah 50:46 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:46

At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved
It being so sudden and unexpected, and so very astonishing: and the cry is heard among the nations;
that Babylon is fallen; which, as applied to mystical Babylon, will be matter of joy to some, and of lamentation to others; see ( Revelation 14:8 ) ( Revelation 18:2 Revelation 18:9-19 ) .

Jeremiah 50:46 In-Context

44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the strong habitation; but I will rest and will make him run from upon her; and he who shall be chosen I will appoint over her. For who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD that he has taken against Babylon and his thoughts that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall drag them out, and they shall destroy their habitations with them.

46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon, the earth was moved, and the cry was heard among the Gentiles.
