Jeremías 51:50

50 Los que escapasteis de la espada, andad, no os detengáis; acordaos por muchos días del SEÑOR, y acordaos de Jerusalén

Jeremías 51:50 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:50

Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still,
&c.] The Jews, who had escaped the sword of the Chaldeans when Jerusalem was taken, and were carried captive into Babylon, where they had remained to this time; and had also escaped the sword of the Medes and Persians, when Babylon was taken; these are bid to go away from Babylon, and go into their land, and not stay in Babylon, or linger there, as Lot in Sodom; or stop on the road, but make the best of their way to the land of Judea: remember the Lord afar off;
the worship of the Lord, as the Targum interprets it; the worship of the Lord in the sanctuary at Jerusalem, from which they were afar off at Babylon; and had been a long time, even seventy years, deprived of it, as Kimchi explains it: and let Jerusalem come into your mind;
that once famous city, the metropolis of the nation, that now lay in ruins; the temple that once stood in it, and the service of God there; that upon the remembrance of, and calling these to mind, they might be quickened and stirred up to hasten thither, and rebuild the city and temple, and restore the worship of God. It is not easy to say whose words these are, whether the words of the prophet, or of the Lord by him; or of the inhabitants of the heavens and earth, whose song may be here continued, and in it thus address the Jews.

Jeremías 51:50 In-Context

48 Y los cielos y la tierra, y todo lo que está en ellos, darán alabanzas sobre Babilonia; porque del aquilón vendrán sobre ella destruidores, dijo el SEÑOR

49 Pues que Babilonia fue la causa que cayeran los muertos de Israel, también por causa de Babilonia cayeron los muertos de toda la tierra

50 Los que escapasteis de la espada, andad, no os detengáis; acordaos por muchos días del SEÑOR, y acordaos de Jerusalén

51 Estamos avergonzados, porque oímos la afrenta; confusión cubrió nuestros rostros, porque vinieron extranjeros contra los Santuarios de la Casa del SEÑOR

52 Por tanto, he aquí vienen días, dijo el SEÑOR, que yo visitaré sus esculturas, y en toda su tierra gemirán los heridos de muerte
