Jérémie 51:49 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:49

As Babylon [hath caused] the slain of Israel
In Jerusalem, when that city was taken the Chaldeans, and destroyed: so at Babylon shall all the slain of all the earth;
or "land"; that is, the land of Chaldea; the inhabitants of which fled to Babylon upon the invasion of the Medes and Persians, both for their own safety, and the defence of that city; and where, being slain, they fell; and this was a just retaliation of them for what they had done to Israel. These words may be considered, as they are by some, as the song of the inhabitants of heaven and earth, observing and applauding the justice and equity of divine Providence in this affair; see ( Revelation 13:7 Revelation 13:10 ) .

Jérémie 51:49 In-Context

47 C'est pourquoi voici, les jours viennent Où je châtierai les idoles de Babylone, Et tout son pays sera couvert de honte; Tous ses morts tomberont au milieu d'elle.
48 Sur Babylone retentiront les cris de joie des cieux et de la terre, Et de tout ce qu'ils renferment; Car du septentrion les dévastateurs fondront sur elle, Dit l'Eternel.
49 Babylone aussi tombera, ô morts d'Israël, Comme elle a fait tomber les morts de tout le pays.
50 Vous qui avez échappé au glaive, partez, ne tardez pas! De la terre lointaine, pensez à l'Eternel, Et que Jérusalem soit présente à vos coeurs! -
51 Nous étions confus, quand nous entendions l'insulte; La honte couvrait nos visages, Quand des étrangers sont venus Dans le sanctuaire de la maison de l'Eternel. -
