54 vox clamoris de Babylone et contritio magna de terra Chaldeorum

Jeremiah 51:54 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:54

A sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon
Of the inhabitants of it upon its being taken; which is said to denote the certainty of it, which was as sure as if the cry of the distressed was then heard: and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans;
that is, the report of a great destruction there, was, or would be, carried from thence, and spread all over the world.

Jeremiah 51:54 In-Context

52 propterea ecce dies veniunt ait Dominus et visitabo super sculptilia eius et in omni terra eius mugiet vulneratus

53 si ascenderit Babylon in caelum et firmaverit in excelso robur suum a me venient vastatores eius ait Dominus

54 vox clamoris de Babylone et contritio magna de terra Chaldeorum

55 quoniam vastavit Dominus Babylonem et perdidit ex ea vocem magnam et sonabunt fluctus eorum quasi aquae multae dedit sonitum vox eorum

56 quia venit super eam id est super Babylonem praedo et adprehensi sunt fortes eius et emarcuit arcus eorum quia fortis ultor Dominus reddens retribuet
