Jeremias 50:16

16 Eliminem da Babilônia o semeadore o ceifeiro, com a sua foice na colheita.Por causa da espada do opressor,que cada um volte para o seu próprio povo,e cada um fuja para a sua própria terra.

Jeremias 50:16 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:16

Cut off the sower from in Babylon, and him that handleth the
sickle in the time of harvest
Both sower and reaper: the walls of Babylon took in a large compass of land, where there were corn fields; and which, as Curtius ^F19 observes, would yield a sufficiency to hold out a siege against an enemy; but being taken, the husbandman would not be spared, as used to be, but should be cut off, and so none to till the ground, or to reap what was upon it; and thus, in course, would be, desolate, as before threatened. The Targum understands this in a figurative sense,

``destroy the king out of Babylon, and take hold of the sword in the time of slaughter;''

and Cocceius interprets the sower of any doctor or bishop in mystical Babylon, and the reaper of such that gather the fruits, and exact obedience; see ( Revelation 18:14 Revelation 18:22 ) ; for fear of the oppressing sword;
of the Medes and Persians: they shall turn everyone to his people, and they shall flee everyone
to his own land;
not those of other nations, as the Jews, who were detained captives there, as Kimchi thinks; for these were not in such fear of the Persians, nor did they flee because of them; but were let go by them, and sent into their own land honourably: but either such who, of other nations, were come to traffic at Babylon; or rather the auxiliaries of other nations, who were either hired or forced into the service of Babylon; these, finding the city taken, would make the best of their way into their own country.

Jeremias 50:16 In-Context

14 “Tomem posição de combate em volta da Babilônia,todos vocês que empunham o arco.Atirem nela! Não poupem flechas,pois ela pecou contra o SENHOR.

15 Soem contra ela um grito de guerra de todos os lados!Ela se rende, suas torres caeme suas muralhas são derrubadas.Esta é a vingança do SENHOR;vinguem-se dela!Façam a ela o que ela fez aos outros!

16 Eliminem da Babilônia o semeadore o ceifeiro, com a sua foice na colheita.Por causa da espada do opressor,que cada um volte para o seu próprio povo,e cada um fuja para a sua própria terra.

17 “Israel é um rebanho disperso,afugentado por leões.O primeiro a devorá-lofoi o rei da Assíria;e o último a esmagar os seus ossosfoi Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia”.

18 Portanto, assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel:“Castigarei o rei da Babilônia e a sua terra assim comocastiguei o rei da Assíria.
