Context of Jeremiah 50:26

24I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against Jehovah. 25Jehovah hath opened his armory, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, hath a work to do in the land of the Chaldeans. Come against her from the utmost border; open her store-houses; cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left. 27Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation. 28The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, the vengeance of his temple.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 50:26

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 26Open her store-houses - At the time that Cyrus took the city, it was full of provisions and treasures of all kinds; the walls had suffered no injury; and when the inhabitants heard that the enemy was within, they thought they must have arisen out of the earth in the center of the city!Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 26Against her - Or, to her, in order to plunder her.

From the utmost border - (Or, “from the first of you even to the last”). Let nothing of her be left - literally, let her have no remnant. Contrast Jeremiah 5:10.Read the comment
