Jeremías 51:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:14

The Lord hath sworn by himself, [saying]
Or, "by his soul" or "life" F17; which is himself, than which he cannot swear by a greater, ( Hebrews 6:13 ) ; and the certain performance of what he swears unto need not be doubted of; and indeed the design of the oath is to assure of the truth of the thing, about which, after this, there ought to be no hesitation: surely I fill thee with men as with caterpillars;
or "locusts" F18; march in vast numbers, and make sad desolation where they come; and to which a numerous army may fitly be compared; and which are here meant, even the army of Cyrus, that should enter Babylon, and fill it, as it did. So the Targum,

``the Lord of hosts hath sworn by his word, if I fill them with armies of many people as locusts:''
and they shall lift up a shout against thee;
as soldiers, when they make the onset in battle; or as besiegers, when they make their attack on a city; or as when grape gatherers bring in their vintage, or tread out their wine, to which the allusion is: it signifies that her enemies should get an entire victory, and triumph over her.

Jeremías 51:14 In-Context

12 Levantad bandera contra los muros de Babilonia; reforzad la guardia, apostad centinelas, preparad emboscadas; porque el SEÑOR ha decidido, y también ejecutará lo que habló acerca de los habitantes de Babilonia.
13 Oh, tú, que moras junto a muchas aguas, rica en tesoros, ha llegado tu fin, el término de tu codicia.
14 El SEÑOR de los ejércitos ha jurado por sí mismo: Ciertamente te llenaré de hombres como langostas, y entonarán contra ti gritos de victoria.
15 El es el que hizo la tierra con su poder, el que estableció el mundo con su sabiduría, y con su inteligencia extendió los cielos.
16 Cuando emite su voz, hay tumulto de aguas en los cielos, y hace subir las nubes desde los confines de la tierra. El produce los relámpagos para la lluvia, y saca el viento de sus depósitos.
