10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord.
10 Chaldea shall be plundered; all who plunder her shall be sated, declares the Lord.
10 Babylon is ripe for picking! All her plunderers will fill their bellies!" God's Decree.
10 And Chaldea shall become plunder; All who plunder her shall be satisfied," says the Lord.
10 Babylonia will be looted until the attackers are glutted with loot. I, the Lord, have spoken!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:10
Commentary on Jeremiah 50:8-20
(Read Jeremiah 50:8-20)
The desolation that shall be brought upon Babylon is set forth in a variety of expressions. The cause of this destruction is the wrath of the Lord. Babylon shall be wholly desolated; for she hath sinned against the Lord. Sin makes men a mark for the arrows of God's judgments. The mercy promised to the Israel of God, shall not only accompany, but arise from the destruction of Babylon. These sheep shall be gathered from the deserts, and put again into good pasture. All who return to God and their duty, shall find satisfaction of soul in so doing. Deliverances out of trouble are comforts indeed, when fruits of the forgiveness of sin.
