Jeremiah 50:22

22 vox belli in terra et contritio magna

Jeremiah 50:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:22

A sound of battle [is] in the land
In the land of the Chaldeans, as it is expressed in the Septuagint and Arabic versions; the noise of warriors, the clashing of arms, and sound of trumpets, both of the enemy entered into the land, and of the Chaldeans arming themselves in their own defence: and of great destruction;
in the same land; or in Babylon, as Abarbinel supplies it; this is the consequent of the former.

Jeremiah 50:22 In-Context

20 in diebus illis et in tempore illo ait Dominus quaeretur iniquitas Israhel et non erit et peccatum Iuda et non invenietur quoniam propitius ero eis quos reliquero

21 super terram dominantium ascende et super habitatores eius visita dissipa et interfice quae post eos sunt ait Dominus et fac iuxta omnia quae praecepi tibi

22 vox belli in terra et contritio magna

23 quomodo confractus est et contritus est malleus universae terrae quomodo versa est in desertum Babylon in gentibus

24 inlaqueavi te et capta es Babylon et nesciebas inventa es et adprehensa quoniam Dominum provocasti
