Context of Jeremiah 50:34

32The arrogant one will stumble and fall With no one to raise him up; And I will set fire to his cities, And it will devour all his surroundings.” 33This is what the Lord of armies says: “The sons of Israel are oppressed, And the sons of Judah as well; And all who took them captive have held them firmly, They have refused to let them go. Their Redeemer is strong, the Lord of armies is His name; He will vigorously plead their case So that He may bring rest to their land, But turmoil to the inhabitants of Babylon. 35A sword against the Chaldeans,” declares the Lord, “And against the inhabitants of Babylon And against her leaders and her wise men! 36A sword against the oracle priests, and they will become fools! A sword against her warriors, and they will be shattered!

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. It was the Go‘el‘s duty also to plead his kinsman‘s cause. How thoroughly Yahweh will execute this duty for Israel is shown in the Hebrew by the triple repetition of the same word; literally “in pleading He will plead their plea.” The land … - Rather, “the earth.” Babylon has hitherto by its ambition kept the world in unrest…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 33-46Verses 33-46 It is Israel's comfort in distress, that, though they are weak, their Redeemer is strong. This may be applied to believers, who complain of the dominion of sin and corruption, and of their own weakness and manifold infirmities. Their Redeemer is able to keep what they commit to him; and sin shall not have dominion over them. He will give them that rest which remains for the people of God. Also here is Babylon's sin, and their punishment. The…Read the comment

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3434. strong--as opposed to the power of Israel's oppressor (Re 18:8). plead ... cause--as their advocate. 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
