Jeremias 51:42

Listen to Jeremias 51:42
42 O mar se levantará sobre a Babilônia;suas ondas agitadas a cobrirão.

Jeremias 51:42 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:42

The sea is come up upon Babylon
A vast army, comparable to the great sea for the multitude thereof, even the army of the Medes and Persians under Cyrus; so the Targum,

``a king with his armies, which are numerous like the waters of the sea, is come up against Babylon:''
she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof;
being surrounded, besieged, surprised, and seized upon by the multitude of soldiers in that army, which poured in upon it unawares. Some think here is a beautiful antithesis, between the inundation of Cyrus's army and the draining of the river Euphrates, by which means he poured in his forces into Babylon.

Jeremias 51:42 In-Context

40 “Eu os levarei como cordeirospara o matadouro,como carneiros e bodes.
41 “Como Sesaque será capturada!Como o orgulho de toda a terra será tomado!Que horror a Babilôniaserá entre as nações!
42 O mar se levantará sobre a Babilônia;suas ondas agitadas a cobrirão.
43 Suas cidades serão arrasadas,uma terra seca e deserta,uma terra onde ninguém mora,pela qual nenhum homem passa.
44 Castigarei Bel na Babilôniae o farei vomitar o que engoliu.As nações não mais acorrerão a ele.E a muralha da Babilônia cairá.
