Jeremiah 51:49 — Meaning and Application

Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. {do...: Heb. visit upon}

Then the heaven and the earth, and all that {is} therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.

As Babylon {hath caused} the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth. {As...: or, Both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain of Israel, and with Babylon, etc} {the earth: or, the country}

Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.

We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD'S house.
