Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 51:51

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

51. The prophet anticipates the Jews' reply; I know you will say in despair, "We are confounded," c. "Wherefore (God saith to you) behold, I will," &c. ( Jeremiah 51:52 ) [CALVIN]. I prefer taking Jeremiah 51:51 as the prayer which the Jews are directed to offer in exile ( Jeremiah 51:51- : ), "let Jerusalem come into your mind" (and say in prayer to God), "We are confounded." This view is confirmed by Psalms 44:15 Psalms 44:16 ; Psalms 79:4 ; Psalms 102:17-20 ; Isaiah 62:6 ; Isaiah 62:7 . for strangers —The "reproach," which especially has stung us, came when they taunted us with the fact that they had burned the temple, our peculiar glory, as though our religion was a thing of naught. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-52" class="com-number"
