Context of Jeremiah 50:34
32The arrogant will stumble and fall, and no one will lift him up. I will kindle fire in his cities, and it will devour all who are round about him.” 33Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot: “The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together. All their captors hold them fast. They refused to let them go. Their Redeemer is strong —Adonai-Tzva’ot is His Name— He will vigorously plead their case, so He may give rest to the earth, but trembling to the Babylonians. 35“A sword is on the Chaldeans” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “and on Babylon’s inhabitants, and her officials and wise men. 36A sword on the diviners—fools! A sword on her warriors—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.

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
