Notes

Jeremiah 50:4

In those days: In 538, 458, and 445 BC, some exiles from Israel returned to their homeland.

The people of Israel and Judah would come back, crying with joy and repentance. They chose to worship the Lord their God instead of idols.

Jeremiah 50:4–10

This poem gave hope to the Israelite exiles in Babylon. It contrasted with the judgment and oppression they faced. The divine Judge is also the divine Savior.

Jeremiah 50:1–51:64

This message of judgment on Babylon is the longest for any nation except Judah. It mixes threats against Babylon with promises to restore Judah. Babylon acted as the Lord's agent to destroy other Near Eastern civilizations. However, Babylon was also guilty of its own sins. The Lord would judge Babylon by making her experience what she did to others (Jeremiah 50:15).
