Jeremiah 50:29 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.

Call together the archers - literally, very many and powerful; hence, the Hebrew word х rabiym (H7227)] is used of archers, Job 16:13, from the multitude and force of their arrows.

According to all that she hath done, do unto her - (note, Jeremiah 50:15).

She hath been proud against the Lord - not merely cruel toward men (Isaiah 47:10).
