Jeremiah 50:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:27

Slay all her bullocks
Or, "all her mighty ones", as the Targum and Vulgate Latin version; her princes and great men, as Jarchi, Kimchi, and Abarbinel; compared to bullocks for their strength, fatness, and fierceness; see ( Psalms 22:12 Psalms 22:13 ) ; this may well be applied to the slaughter of kings, captains, and mighty men, at the battle of Armageddon, ( Revelation 19:18 ) ; let them go down to the slaughter;
to the place slaughter, as oxen do, insensible, and whether they will or not: woe unto them, for their day is come, the time of their visitation;
the time of their destruction, of visiting or punishing them for their sins, appointed by the Lord, which they could not pass; and so a woeful and dreadful time to them.

Jeremiah 50:27 In-Context

25 The LORD has opened his arsenal and brought out his brutal weapons. The LORD God of heavenly forces has a job to do in the land of the Babylonians.

26 Come against her from every side; throw open her granaries; pile her up like stalks of grain; totally destroy her; leave nothing intact.

27 Destroy all her bulls; prepare them for slaughter. How terrible for them! Their time has come, the day of reckoning.

28 A voice of fugitives and refugees, from the land of Babylon, declaring in Zion the retribution of the LORD our God because of what has been done to his temple.

29 Send the archers against Babylon, all who draw the bow! Surround her and let no one escape. Pay her back for her deeds; do to her what she's done to others. She has acted arrogantly toward the LORD, the holy one of Israel!
