Jer 51:9 · Douay-Rheims
“We would have cured Babylon, but she is not healed: let us forsake her, and let us go every man to his own land: because her judgment hath reached even to the heavens, and is lifted up to the clouds.”
On this verse:
“We would have healed--We attempted to heal. her judgment--her crimes provoking God's "judgments" [GROTIUS]. reacheth unto heaven-- (Gen 18:21; Jon 1:2; Rev 18:5). Even the heathen nations perceive that her awful fall must be God's judgment for her crying sins (Psa 9:16; Psa 64:9).”
