Jeremiah 50:46 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:46

At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved
It being so sudden and unexpected, and so very astonishing: and the cry is heard among the nations;
that Babylon is fallen; which, as applied to mystical Babylon, will be matter of joy to some, and of lamentation to others; see ( Revelation 14:8 ) ( Revelation 18:2 Revelation 18:9-19 ) .

Jeremiah 50:46 In-Context

44 "And now watch this: Like a lion coming up from the thick jungle of the Jordan, Looking for prey in the mountain pastures, I'll take over and pounce. I'll take my pick of the flock - and who's to stop me? All the so-called shepherds are helpless before me."
45 So, listen to this plan that God has worked out against Babylon, the blueprint of what he's prepared for dealing with Chaldea: Believe it or not, the young, the vulnerable - mere lambs and kids - will be dragged off. Believe it or not, the flock in shock, helpless to help, watches it happen.
46 When the shout goes up, "Babylon's down!" the very earth will shudder at the sound. The news will be heard all over the world.
