Jeremiah 51:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:22

And with thee also will I break in pieces man and woman
Or, "have broken"; having no respect to any sex, and to the propagation of posterity: and with thee will I break in pieces old and young;
not sparing men of any age, however useful they might be, the one for their wisdom, the other for their strength: and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
who by procreation of children might fill and strengthen commonwealths.
