Jérémie 50:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:8

Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the
land of the Chaldeans
This, in the literal sense, is a call to the Jews in Babylon, and in other parts of Chaldea, to go out from thence upon the proclamation of Cyrus; and especially to the chief of them, to animate the rest, and set them an example; such as Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Ezra, and others: and, in the mystical sense, is a call to the people of God in Rome, and the antichristian states, to come out from thence, a little before the destruction thereof, as in ( Revelation 18:4 ) ; which seems to refer to this passage: and be as the he goats before the flocks;
which walk stately and nimbly, cheerfully and readily, without fear and dread, boldly and confidently, and encourage others to follow them. The Targum is,

``as princes at the head of their people.''

Jérémie 50:8 In-Context

6 Mon peuple était un troupeau de brebis perdues; Leurs bergers les égaraient, les faisaient errer par les montagnes; Elles allaient des montagnes sur les collines, Oubliant leur bercail.
7 Tous ceux qui les trouvaient les dévoraient, Et leurs ennemis disaient: Nous ne sommes point coupables, Puisqu'ils ont péché contre l'Eternel, la demeure de la justice, Contre l'Eternel, l'espérance de leurs pères.
8 Fuyez de Babylone, sortez du pays des Chaldéens, Et soyez comme des boucs à la tête du troupeau!
9 Car voici, je vais susciter et faire monter contre Babylone Une multitude de grandes nations du pays du septentrion; Elles se rangeront en bataille contre elle, et s'en empareront; Leurs flèches sont comme un habile guerrier, Qui ne revient pas à vide.
10 Et la Chaldée sera livrée au pillage; Tous ceux qui la pilleront seront rassasiés, dit l'Eternel.
