耶利米書 51:47 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:47

Therefore, behold, the days come that I will do judgment on
the graven images of Babylon
Because of the connection of these words, some understand ( Jeremiah 51:46 ) of the report of the deliverance of the Jews time after time; and yet nothing came of it, which disheartened them; and they were used more cruelly, and with greater violence, by the Chaldeans and their kings, one after another; and "therefore" the following things are said; but the particle may be rendered "moreover" F14, as some observe; or "surely", certainly, of a truth, as in ( Jeremiah 5:2 ) ; the time is hastening on, the above things being done, when judgment shall be executed, not only upon Bel the chief idol, ( Jeremiah 51:44 ) ; but upon all the idols of the Chaldeans; which should be broke to pieces, and stripped of everything about them that was valuable; the Medes and Persians having no regard to images in their worship; though Dr. Prideaux F15 thinks that what is here said, and in ( Jeremiah 51:44 ) ; were fulfilled by Xerxes, when he destroyed and pillaged the Babylonian temples: and her whole land shall be confounded;
the inhabitants of it, when they see their images destroyed, in which they trusted for their safety: and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her;
in the midst of Babylon; where the king and his army were shut up, and dared not move out; and where they were slain when the army of Cyrus entered.

耶利米書 51:47 In-Context

45 我 的 民 哪 , 你 們 要 從 其 中 出 去 ! 各 人 拯 救 自 己 , 躲 避 耶 和 華 的 烈 怒 。
46 你 們 不 要 心 驚 膽 怯 , 也 不 要 因 境 內 所 聽 見 的 風 聲 懼 怕 ; 因 為 這 年 有 風 聲 傳 來 ; 那 年 也 有 風 聲 傳 來 , 境 內 有 強 暴 的 事 , 官 長 攻 擊 官 長 。
47 日 子 將 到 , 我 必 刑 罰 巴 比 倫 雕 刻 的 偶 像 。 他 全 地 必 然 抱 愧 ; 他 被 殺 的 人 必 在 其 中 仆 倒 。
48 那 時 , 天 地 和 其 中 所 有 的 , 必 因 巴 比 倫 歡 呼 , 因 為 行 毀 滅 的 要 從 北 方 來 到 他 那 裡 。 這 是 耶 和 華 說 的 。
49 巴 比 倫 怎 樣 使 以 色 列 被 殺 的 人 仆 倒 , 照 樣 他 全 地 被 殺 的 人 也 必 在 巴 比 倫 仆 倒 。
