Jeremías 50:15

15 Alzad grito de guerra contra ella en derredor. Se ha rendido, caen sus columnas, son derribadas sus murallas. Porque esta es la venganza del SEÑOR: tomad venganza de ella; como ella ha hecho, así haced con ella.

Jeremías 50:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:15

Shout against her round about
As soldiers do when they make an assault upon a place, to encourage one another, and dismay the besieged; just as the Israelites did when they surrounded Jericho: she hath given her hand;
submitted to the conqueror, and sued for mercy. The Targum is,

``she is delivered into her hand;''

the hand of the Persians, by two princes of Babylon, who went off to Cyrus, and showed him how to take the city; or rather it was delivered by Zopyrus into the hands of Darius: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down;
not at the taking of it by Cyrus, but afterwards by Darius; for this respects the conclusion of its destruction, which was progressive and gradual: for it [is] the vengeance of the Lord:
which he decreed, threatened, and took, and that on account of his people, who had been ill treated here; so the Targum,

``for it is the vengeance of the people of the Lord:''

and her enemies are called upon to take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her;
that is, to execute the Lord's vengeance, of which the Persians were the instruments; and who were to go according to the law of retaliation, which is a just one; to do to Babylon as she had done to Jerusalem, and other places, she had utterly destroyed. These words seem to be referred to, and much the same are used of mystical Babylon, ( Revelation 18:6 ) .

Jeremías 50:15 In-Context

13 A causa del enojo del SEÑOR, no será habitada, sino que estará desolada toda ella; todo el que pase por Babilonia se quedará atónito y silbará a causa de todas sus heridas.

14 Poneos en orden contra Babilonia en derredor, todos los que entesáis el arco; tirad contra ella, no escatiméis las flechas, porque ha pecado contra el SEÑOR.

15 Alzad grito de guerra contra ella en derredor. Se ha rendido, caen sus columnas, son derribadas sus murallas. Porque esta es la venganza del SEÑOR: tomad venganza de ella; como ella ha hecho, así haced con ella.

16 Exterminad de Babilonia al sembrador y al que maneja la hoz en tiempo de la siega; ante la espada opresora, cada uno volverá a su pueblo, cada uno huirá a su tierra.

17 Rebaño descarriado es Israel; los leones lo han ahuyentado. Primero lo devoró el rey de Asiria, y después Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, quebró sus huesos.
