Jeremias 50:43 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:43

The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them
Belshazzar, as Kimchi; he had the report brought him of the invasion of his land by them; of their approach to Babylon, and design upon it; and of their number, character, and force: and his hands waxed feeble;
as they did when he saw the handwriting upon the wall, ( Daniel 5:6 ) ; anguish took hold of him, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail;
a sudden panic seized him, and he was quite dispirited at once, as a woman in childbirth, when her pains come upon her, and there is no avoiding them; though when those who were with Gobrias and Gadates rushed in upon him, they found him standing up with his sword drawn {z}, but unable to defend himself against such a posse as came in upon him.

Jeremias 50:43 In-Context

41 Eis que um povo vem do norte; e uma grande nação e muitos reis se levantam das extremidades da terra.
42 Armam-se de arco e lança; são cruéis, e não têm piedade; a sua voz brama como o mar, e em cavalos vêm montados, dispostos como homens para a batalha, contra ti, ó filha de Babilônia.
43 O rei de Babilônia ouviu a fama deles, e desfaleceram as suas mãos; a angústia se apoderou dele, dores, como da que está de parto.
44 Eis que como leão subirá das margens do Jordão um inimigo contra a morada forte, mas de repente o farei correr dali; e ao escolhido, pô-lo-ei sobre ela. Pois quem é semelhante a mim? e quem me fixará um prazo? Quem é o pastor que me poderá resistir?
45 Portanto ouvi o conselho que o Senhor decretou contra Babilônia, e o propósito que formou contra a terra dos caldeus: Certamente eles, os pequenos do rebanho, serão arrastados; certamente o aprisco ficará apavorado por causa deles.
