Jeremias 50:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:13

Because of the wrath of the Lord, it shall not be inhabited,
&c.] That is, Babylon; which the Targum expresses,

``because thou, Babylon, hast provoked the Lord;''
by their idolatry, luxury, ill usage of his people, and profanation of the vessels of the sanctuary; therefore it should be destroyed, and left without an inhabitant in it: but it shall be wholly desolate;
as it now is. Pausanias says F15, in his time there was nothing but a wall remaining; and Jerom F16 says, he had it from a brother Elamite, or Persian, that Babylon was then a park or place for royal hunting, and that beasts of every kind were kept within its walls: of mystical Babylon, see ( Revelation 16:19 ) ( 18:2 ) ; everyone that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all
her plagues;
any traveller that had seen it in its glory would now be astonished to see the desolation of it; and, by way of scorn and derision, hiss at the judgments of God upon it, and rejoice at them, and shake their head, as the Targum.

Jeremias 50:13 In-Context

11 Embora vos alegreis e vos regozijeis, ó saqueadores da minha herança, embora andeis soltos como novilha que pisa a erva, e rincheis como cavalos vigorosos,
12 muito envergonhada será vossa mãe, ficará humilhada a que vos deu � luz; eis que ela será a última das nações, um deserto, uma terra seca e uma solidão.
13 Por causa da ira do Senhor não será habitada, antes se tornará em total desolação; qualquer que passar por Babilônia se espantará, e assobiará por causa de todas as suas pragas.
14 Ponde-vos em ordem para cercar Babilônia, todos os que armais arcos; atirai-lhe, não poupeis as flechas, porque ela tem pecado contra o Senhor.
15 Gritai contra ela rodeando-a; ela já se submeteu; caíram seus baluartes, estão derribados os seus muros. Pois esta é a vingança do Senhor; vingai-vos dela; conforme o que ela fez, assim lhe fazei a ela.
