Jeremiah 51:19 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:19

The portion of Jacob [is] not like them; for he [is] the
former of all things: and [Israel is] the rod of his inheritance: the
Lord of hosts [is] his name.] (See Gill on Jeremiah 10:16).

Jeremiah 51:19 In-Context

17 Everyone is stupid and ignorant. Every goldsmith is put to shame by [his] carved image, for his cast images are a lie; there is no breath in them.

18 They are worthless, a work to be mocked. At the time of their punishment they will be destroyed.

19 Jacob's Portion is not like these because He is the One who formed all things. [Israel is] the tribe of His inheritance; the Lord of Hosts is His name.

20 You are My battle club, My weapons of war. With you I will smash nations; with you I will bring kingdoms to ruin.

21 With you I will smash the horse and its rider; with you I will smash the chariot and its rider.
