Commentaries on Jeremiah 50:34
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 34Their Redeemer is strong - And it was not that he wanted power, and that Nebuchadnezzar had much, that Jerusalem was taken; but because the people had sinned, and would not return; and therefore national sins called for national punishments. These have taken place; and now the Lord of hosts shows them that the power of the Chaldeans is mere weakness against his might.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 34Redeemer - i. e., גאל gā'al Yahweh is Israel‘s next relative, bound by law to avenge him, as well as to ransom him from captivity.

Also here is Babylon's sin, and their punishment. The…Read the comment

Image from a court of justice; appropriate as God delivers His people not by mere might, but by righteousness. His plea against Satan and all their enemies is His own everlasting love, reconciling mercy and justice in the Redeemer's work and person (Mi 7:9; Zec 3:1-5; 1Jo 2:1). give rest ... disquiet--There is a play on the similarity of sounds in the…Read the comment
