Izhibhalo Ezingcwele

UYeremiya 50:29

29 Bahlabeleni umkhosi abatoli, beze eBhabheli, bonke abatyedi besaphetha; yingqingeni ngeenxa zonke. Makungabikho usindayo; yivuzeni ngokomsebenzi wayo; ngako konke eyakwenzayo, yenzani ngako kuyo; ngokuba ikhukhumele kuYehova, koyiNgcwele kaSirayeli.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Call together the archers against Babylon,.... The Medes and Persians, who were well skilled in archery, especially the Elamites; see Isaiah 22:6; hence Horace d makes mention of "Medi pharetra"; and Cyrus in Xenophon e says, that he had under his command sixty thousand men that wore targets and were archers;

Isaiah 22:6- :. Some render it "many", as the Targum; and the sense is, either gather many together against Babylon, a large army; or cause many to hear the vengeance against Babylon; publish this good news; so the word used by the Targum signifies; and this will be done by Gospel preachers, with respect to mystical Babylon, Revelation 14:6;

all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape; surround it on every side; besiege it so closely that none may be able to escape:

recompence her according to her work: according to all that she hath done, do unto her; which is the law of retaliation;

Revelation 14:6- :; and with it compare

Revelation 18:6;

for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel; behaved haughtily and contemptuously towards the Lord and his people; burning the city and temple of Jerusalem; profaning the vessels of it, and ill treating the captive Jews; so the Targum,

"because she hath spoken ill against the people of the Lord, saying words which were not right before the Holy One of Israel;''

which may fitly be applied to antichrist the man of sin, sitting in the temple of God, showing himself as God; opening his mouth in blasphemy against him and his saints, 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

d Carmin. l. 2. Ode 16. e Cyropaedia, l. 2. c. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Or, “Summon the archers to Babylon, even all who bend the bow: encamp against her etc.” In this portion of the prophecy the capture of Babylon is regarded as the punishment due to her for burning the temple Jeremiah 50:28.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 50:29. Call together the archers — The preceding verses are the prediction: here, God calls the Medes and Persians to fulfil it.
