Jeremías 51:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:6

Flee out of the midst of Babylon
This is said either to such as were there of other nations upon trade and business, as Kimchi, to get out of it as fast as they could, that they might not be consumed; or to the Israelites, as Jarchi, the Jews that were captives there. This is applied to the people of God in mystical Babylon, ( Revelation 18:4 ) ; and deliver every man his soul;
or "life"; from the destruction coming on the city, and the inhabitants of it; be not cut off in her iniquity;
or, "that he be not cut off" ^F6; with her, in the punishment inflicted upon her for her iniquities; which is the same as partaking of her plagues, ( Revelation 18:4 ) ; for this [is] the time, of the Lord's vengeance;
the time fixed by him to take vengeance on Babylon for her sins against him, and the wrongs done to his people: he will render unto her a recompence;
the just demerit of their sins; a recompence or reward by way of punishment for them; see ( Revelation 18:6 ) .

Jeremías 51:6 In-Context

4 Caerán muertos en la tierra de los caldeos, y traspasados en sus calles.

5 Porque no ha sido abandonado Israel ni Judá por su Dios, el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, aunque su tierra está llena de culpa delante del Santo de Israel.

6 Huid de en medio de Babilonia, y salve cada uno su vida. No perezcáis por su culpa, pues este es el tiempo de la venganza del SEÑOR; El le dará su pago.

7 Copa de oro ha sido Babilonia en la mano del SEÑOR, que embriagaba toda la tierra. De su vino bebieron las naciones; se enloquecieron, por tanto, las naciones.

8 De repente cae Babilonia y se hace pedazos. Gemid por ella, traed bálsamo para su dolor; quizá se cure.
