Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the land shall tremble and sorrow,.... The land of Chaldea, the inhabitants of it, should tremble, when they heard of this powerful army invading their land, and besieging their metropolis; and should sorrow, and be in pain as a woman in travail, as the word f signifies:
for every purpose of the Lord shall be performed against Babylon; or, "shall stand" g; be certainly fulfilled; for his purposes are firm and not frustratable:
to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant; this the Lord purposed, and threatened to do; see Jeremiah 50:39.
f ותחל "et parturiet", Schmidt. So Ben Melech. g קמה "stabit, [vel] stant", Schmidt.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The literal translation is:
Then the earth quaked and writhed;
For the thoughts of Yahweh against
Babel have stood fast;
To make Babel a waste without inhabitant.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 51:29. And the land shall tremble — It is represented here as trembling under the numerous armies that are passing over it, and the prancing of their horses.
