Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
Come against her from the utmost border - namely, of the earth; or from all sides (Ludovicus de Dieu).
Open her storehouses - or, 'her houses filled with men and goods' (Michaelis). When Cyrus took it, the provisions found there were enough to have lasted for many years.
Cast her up as heaps - make of the once glorious city heaps of ruins. Vast mounds of rubbish now mark the site of ancient Babylon. Or else (margin), 'Tread her as heaps of grain which are wont to be trodden down in the threshing-floor' (Grotius). х Caaluwhaa (H5549) may be either from caalal (H5549), to heap up in a mound, as Jeremiah 50:9 takes it; or from caalaah (H5541), to tread, as margin translates.]
