Geremia 50:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:13

Because of the wrath of the Lord, it shall not be inhabited,
&c.] That is, Babylon; which the Targum expresses,

``because thou, Babylon, hast provoked the Lord;''
by their idolatry, luxury, ill usage of his people, and profanation of the vessels of the sanctuary; therefore it should be destroyed, and left without an inhabitant in it: but it shall be wholly desolate;
as it now is. Pausanias says F15, in his time there was nothing but a wall remaining; and Jerom F16 says, he had it from a brother Elamite, or Persian, that Babylon was then a park or place for royal hunting, and that beasts of every kind were kept within its walls: of mystical Babylon, see ( Revelation 16:19 ) ( 18:2 ) ; everyone that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all
her plagues;
any traveller that had seen it in its glory would now be astonished to see the desolation of it; and, by way of scorn and derision, hiss at the judgments of God upon it, and rejoice at them, and shake their head, as the Targum.

Geremia 50:13 In-Context

11 Sì, gioite, sì, rallegratevi, o voi che avete saccheggiato la mia eredità, sì, saltate come una giovenca che trebbia il grano, nitrite come forti destrieri!
12 La madre vostra è tutta coperta d’onta, colei che v’ha partoriti, arrossisce; ecco, essa è l’ultima delle nazioni, un deserto, una terra arida, una solitudine.
13 A motivo dell’ira dell’Eterno non sarà più abitata, sarà una completa solitudine; chiunque passerà presso a Babilonia rimarrà stupito, e fischierà per tutte le sue piaghe.
14 Schieratevi contro Babilonia d’ogn’intorno, o voi tutti che tirate d’arco! Tirate contro di lei, non risparmiate le frecce! poich’essa ha peccato contro l’Eterno.
15 Levate contro di lei il grido di guerra, d’ogn’intorno; ella si arrende; le sue colonne cadono, le sue mura crollano, perché questa è la vendetta dell’Eterno! Vendicatevi di lei! Fate a lei com’essa ha fatto!
