Jeremías 50:15

15 Griten en torno de ella:¡Babilonia se rinde!¡Cayeron sus torres,se derrumbaron sus muros!¡Esta es la venganza del SEÑOR!¡Vénguense de ella!¡Páguenle con la misma moneda!

Jeremías 50:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:15

Shout against her round about
As soldiers do when they make an assault upon a place, to encourage one another, and dismay the besieged; just as the Israelites did when they surrounded Jericho: she hath given her hand;
submitted to the conqueror, and sued for mercy. The Targum is,

``she is delivered into her hand;''

the hand of the Persians, by two princes of Babylon, who went off to Cyrus, and showed him how to take the city; or rather it was delivered by Zopyrus into the hands of Darius: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down;
not at the taking of it by Cyrus, but afterwards by Darius; for this respects the conclusion of its destruction, which was progressive and gradual: for it [is] the vengeance of the Lord:
which he decreed, threatened, and took, and that on account of his people, who had been ill treated here; so the Targum,

``for it is the vengeance of the people of the Lord:''

and her enemies are called upon to take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her;
that is, to execute the Lord's vengeance, of which the Persians were the instruments; and who were to go according to the law of retaliation, which is a just one; to do to Babylon as she had done to Jerusalem, and other places, she had utterly destroyed. These words seem to be referred to, and much the same are used of mystical Babylon, ( Revelation 18:6 ) .

Jeremías 50:15 In-Context

13 Por el enojo del SEÑORno será habitada,sino que quedará en desolación.Todo el que pase por Babiloniaquedará pasmado al ver todas sus heridas.

14 »¡Tomen posiciones alrededor de Babilonia,todos los que tensan el arco!¡Dispárenle, no escatimen flechas,porque ha pecado contra el SEÑOR!

15 Griten en torno de ella:¡Babilonia se rinde!¡Cayeron sus torres,se derrumbaron sus muros!¡Esta es la venganza del SEÑOR!¡Vénguense de ella!¡Páguenle con la misma moneda!

16 Exterminen al que siembra en Babilonia,y al que maneja la hoz en la cosecha.Ante la espada del opresor,cada uno retorna a su pueblo,cada cual huye a su país.

17 »Israel es como un rebaño descarriado,acosado por los leones.Primero lo devoró el rey de Asiria,y luego Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia,le quebró todos los huesos».
