Jeremiah 51:52 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:52

Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will
do judgment upon her graven images
Destroy their gods, who have reproached the God of Israel, and profaned his sanctuaries; and for that reason; (See Gill on Jeremiah 51:47); it is an answer to the objection and complaint of the Jews, and is designed for their comfort and encouragement: and through all her land the wounded shall groan;
because of their wounds and pain; and which their idols could not cure, ease, or prevent.
