Jeremías 51:42

Listen to Jeremías 51:42
42 El mar ha subido sobre Babilonia; con la multitud de sus olas ha sido cubierta.

Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 51:42 In-Context

40 Los haré bajar como corderos al matadero, como carneros y machos cabríos.
41 ¡Cómo ha sido tomada Sesac , y arrebatada la gloria de toda la tierra! ¡Cómo se ha convertido Babilonia en objeto de horror entre las naciones!
42 El mar ha subido sobre Babilonia; con la multitud de sus olas ha sido cubierta.
43 Sus ciudades se han convertido en desolación, en sequedal y yermo; una tierra en la cual nadie habita, y por la cual ningún hijo de hombre pasa.
44 Y castigaré a Bel en Babilonia, sacaré de su boca lo que se ha tragado, y no afluirán más a él las naciones. Aun la muralla de Babilonia caerá.
