Jeremiah 50
1. The judgment of Babylon and the redemption of Israel














(32) And the most proud shall stumble . . .--As before, Pride. The gender of the pronoun in "none shall raise him up" is determined by that of the Hebrew noun. The words furnish a striking illustration of the teaching of Proverbs 16:18.

Verse 32. - The most proud; rather, Pride. Raise him up. For the sake of uniformity, "her" would be better; for it is Babylon who is spoken cf. There is an inconsistency in the use of the persons in the original. Elsewhere in this description Babylon is feminine; here it is masculine, to agree with "Pride."
