Almighty Armies Babylon Case Cause Defend Disquiet Earth Hosts Inhabitants Live Plead Redeemer Rest Strong Surely Thoroughly Throughly Trouble Turmoil Unrest Vigorously
Jeremiah 50
1. The judgment of Babylon and the redemption of Israel














(34) Their Redeemer is strong.--The word for "Redeemer" (Goel) includes, as elsewhere (Numbers 35:12; Ruth 4:1; Ruth 4:8; Job 19:25), the thought of "the next of kin," with whom the right of redemption (in the technical sense) rested, and to whom belonged the duty of pleading for and avenging his kinsman when oppressed. It is interesting to note, in connection with the obvious allusion to Proverbs 16:18, that here, with the exception of the name of "the Lord of hosts is his name," we have an actual citation from Proverbs 23:11. . . . Verse 34. - That he may give rest to the land; rather, to the earth. Babylon was one of the great world empires; we can hardly dispense with this convenient Germanism. It was the wont of the Chaldeans, as Habakkuk puts it (Habakkuk 1:6), "to walk through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that were not theirs." Observe the striking contrast - "rest" to the world which has been too long deprived of it, and "disquiet" to those who have hitherto spread it far and wide (comp. Isaiah 14:2, 3).
