Jeremias 51:42 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:42

The sea is come up upon Babylon
A vast army, comparable to the great sea for the multitude thereof, even the army of the Medes and Persians under Cyrus; so the Targum,

``a king with his armies, which are numerous like the waters of the sea, is come up against Babylon:''
she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof;
being surrounded, besieged, surprised, and seized upon by the multitude of soldiers in that army, which poured in upon it unawares. Some think here is a beautiful antithesis, between the inundation of Cyrus's army and the draining of the river Euphrates, by which means he poured in his forces into Babylon.

Jeremias 51:42 In-Context

40 Fá-los-ei descer como cordeiros ao matadouro, como carneiros e bodes.
41 Como foi tomada Sesaque, e apanhada de surpresa a glória de toda a terra! como se tornou Babilônia um espetáculo horrendo entre as nações!
42 O mar subiu sobre Babilônia; coberta está com a multidão das suas ondas.
43 Tornaram-se as suas cidades em ruínas, terra seca e deserta, terra em que ninguém habita, nem passa por ela filho de homem.
44 E castigarei a Bel em Babilônia, e tirarei da sua boca o que ele tragou; e nunca mais concorrerão a ele as nações; o muro de Babilônia está caído.
