Jeremias 51:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:14

The Lord hath sworn by himself, [saying]
Or, "by his soul" or "life" F17; which is himself, than which he cannot swear by a greater, ( Hebrews 6:13 ) ; and the certain performance of what he swears unto need not be doubted of; and indeed the design of the oath is to assure of the truth of the thing, about which, after this, there ought to be no hesitation: surely I fill thee with men as with caterpillars;
or "locusts" F18; march in vast numbers, and make sad desolation where they come; and to which a numerous army may fitly be compared; and which are here meant, even the army of Cyrus, that should enter Babylon, and fill it, as it did. So the Targum,

``the Lord of hosts hath sworn by his word, if I fill them with armies of many people as locusts:''
and they shall lift up a shout against thee;
as soldiers, when they make the onset in battle; or as besiegers, when they make their attack on a city; or as when grape gatherers bring in their vintage, or tread out their wine, to which the allusion is: it signifies that her enemies should get an entire victory, and triumph over her.

Jeremias 51:14 In-Context

12 Ergam o sinal para atacar as muralhas da Babilônia!Reforcem a guarda!Posicionem as sentinelas!Preparem uma emboscada!O SENHOR executará o seu plano,o que ameaçou fazer contra os habitantes da Babilônia.
13 Você que vive junto a muitas águase está rico de tesouros,chegou o seu fim,a hora de você ser eliminado.
14 O SENHOR dos Exércitos jurou por si mesmo:Com certeza a encherei de homens,como um enxame de gafanhotos,e eles gritarão triunfantes sobre você.
15 “Mas foi Deus quem fez a terra com o seu poder;firmou o mundo com a sua sabedoriae estendeu os céus com o seu entendimento.
16 Ao som do seu trovão, as águas no céu rugem;ele faz com que as nuvens se levantem desde os confins da terra.Ele faz relâmpagos para a chuvae faz sair o vento de seus depósitos.
