32The most proud shall stumble and fall, And no one will raise him up; I will kindle a fire in his cities, And it will devour all around him.” 33Thus says the Lord of hosts: “The children of Israel were oppressed, Along with the children of Judah; All who took them captive have held them fast; They have refused to let them go. Their Redeemer is strong; The Lord of hosts is His name. He will thoroughly plead their case, That He may give rest to the land, And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon. 35“A sword is against the Chaldeans,” says the Lord, “Against the inhabitants of Babylon, And against her princes and her wise men. 36A sword is against the soothsayers, and they will be fools. A sword is against her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.

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
