Jeremias 50:36 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:36

A sword [is] upon the liars
Some render it "bars" F13, as the word sometimes signifies; and interpret it of great men, who are the strength and security of cities and commonwealths; but these are mentioned both before and after. The Targum renders it "diviners"; and so Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it F14; of which there were many among the Chaldeans, who were a lying set of men, who imposed upon and deceived the people; these with their divinations and soothsayings could not save the land, nor themselves, from the devouring sword; nay, their sorceries and divinations were the cause of the ruin of it; see ( Isaiah 47:9 Isaiah 47:12 Isaiah 47:13 ) ( Revelation 18:23 ) ; and they shall dote;
or, that they may "become foolish" F15; be infatuated, and act a mad part, and be at their wits' end; not knowing what course to take for their own safety, and much less be able to give direction and advice to others: a sword [is] upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed;
the soldiers and their officers, the most valiant and courageous of them; these would be in the utmost fright and consternation at the approach of the enemy; especially when they perceived the city taken, and the carnage made of the king and his nobles.

Jeremias 50:36 In-Context

34 Mas o seu Redentor é forte; o Senhor dos exércitos é o seu nome. Certamente defenderá em juízo a causa deles, para dar descanso � terra, e inquietar os moradores de Babilônia.
35 A espada virá sobre os caldeus, diz o senhor, e sobre os moradores de Babilônia, e sobre os seus príncipes, e sobre os seus sábios.
36 A espada virá sobre os paroleiros, e eles ficarão insensatos; a espada virá sobre os seus valentes, e eles desfalecerão.
37 A espada virá sobre os seus cavalos, e sobre os seus carros, e sobre todo o povo misto, que se acha no meio dela, e eles se tornarão como mulheres; a espada virá sobre os seus tesouros, e estes serão saqueados.
38 Cairá a seca sobre as suas águas, e elas secarão; pois é uma terra de imagens esculpidas, e eles pelos seus ídolos fazem-se loucos.
