Yirmeyah 50:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:27

Slay all her bullocks
Or, "all her mighty ones", as the Targum and Vulgate Latin version; her princes and great men, as Jarchi, Kimchi, and Abarbinel; compared to bullocks for their strength, fatness, and fierceness; see ( Psalms 22:12 Psalms 22:13 ) ; this may well be applied to the slaughter of kings, captains, and mighty men, at the battle of Armageddon, ( Revelation 19:18 ) ; let them go down to the slaughter;
to the place slaughter, as oxen do, insensible, and whether they will or not: woe unto them, for their day is come, the time of their visitation;
the time of their destruction, of visiting or punishing them for their sins, appointed by the Lord, which they could not pass; and so a woeful and dreadful time to them.

Yirmeyah 50:27 In-Context

25 Hashem hath opened His armory, and hath brought forth the weapons of His indignation; for this is the work of Adonoi Hashem Tzva’os in Eretz Kasdim.

26 Come against her from afar, open her storehouses; pile her up like heaps of grain, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be she’erit (remnant).

27 Slay all her bulls; let them go down latevach (to the slaughter; see Isaiah 53:7); woe unto them! For their day is come, the time of their visitation [for punishment].

28 The voice of them that flee and escape as fugitives out of Eretz Bavel, to declare in Tziyon the vengeance of Hashem Eloheinu, the vengeance of His Heikhal.

29 Call together the archers against Bavel; all ye that bend the keshet, encamp against it all around; let none thereof escape; repay her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her; for she hath arrogantly defied Hashem Kadosh Yisroel.
