Jeremía 50:45

Heilögum Biblíunni

45 Heyrið því ráðsályktun Drottins, er hann hefir gjört viðvíkjandi Babýlon, og þær fyrirætlanir, er hann hefir í huga viðvíkjandi landi Kaldea: Sannarlega munu þeir draga þá burt, hina lítilmótlegustu úr hjörðinni. Sannarlega skal haglendið verða agndofa yfir þeim.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord that he hath taken against Babylon,.... The same is said in Jeremiah 49:20; only, instead of Edom, Babylon is here put, and in the next clause:

and his purposes that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans; instead of the inhabitants of Teman, the land of the Chaldeans:

surely the least of the flock shall draw them out; the weakest and most feeble in the army of Cyrus should be more than a match for any in Babylon, and should draw them out, and devour them, as dogs and wolves the sheep out of the flock:

surely he shall make [their] habitation desolate with them;
