Jeremías 50:44

Listen to Jeremías 50:44
44 He aquí que uno subirá como león de la espesura del Jordán a un pastizal de perenne verdor, y en un instante le haré huir de él, y al que sea escogido nombraré sobre él. Porque ¿quién es como yo y quién me citará a juicio? ¿Quién es el pastor que me podrá resistir?

Jeremías 50:44 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:44

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of
Jordan
What is said of Nebuchadnezzar coming up against Edom is here said of Cyrus coming up against Babylon; for of a king it is to be understood; as the Targum,

``behold, a king with his army shall come up against them, as a lion from the height of Jordan;''
see ( Jeremiah 49:19 ) ; unto the habitation of the strong;
to Babylon; where dwelt the king, his nobles, and his mighty men: but I will make them suddenly run away from her;
as they did from her king Belshazzar, when Gobrias and Gadates entered the royal palace, and seized upon him F1; and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her?
or, "a young man" F2? such an one Cyrus was, who, by divine appointment, became master and governor of Babylon: and who will appoint me the time?
to enter the lists with me, and litigate the point with me in a court of judicature, or contend with me in battle: and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me?
or king? not Belshazzar, he could not stand before the Lord: so the Targum,
``there is no king that hath strength before me;''
that is, to withstand him, or hinder what he has appointed and ordered to be done; (See Gill on Jeremiah 49:19).

Jeremías 50:44 In-Context

42 Empuñan arco y jabalina; son crueles y no tienen misericordia. Su voz ruge como el mar, y a caballo van montados, alineados como un solo hombre para la batalla contra ti, hija de Babilonia.
43 Ha oído el rey de Babilonia noticias de ellos, y flaquean sus manos; la angustia se ha apoderado de él, agonía como de mujer de parto.
44 He aquí que uno subirá como león de la espesura del Jordán a un pastizal de perenne verdor, y en un instante le haré huir de él, y al que sea escogido nombraré sobre él. Porque ¿quién es como yo y quién me citará a juicio? ¿Quién es el pastor que me podrá resistir?
45 Por tanto, oíd el plan que el SEÑOR ha trazado contra Babilonia, y los designios que ha decretado contra la tierra de los caldeos; ciertamente los arrastrarán, aun a los más pequeños del rebaño; ciertamente a causa de ellos hará una desolación de su pastizal.
46 Al grito de ¡Babilonia ha sido tomada!, la tierra tiembla y el clamor se oye entre las naciones.
