Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Jer 51:42 · Douay-Rheims
“The sea is come up over Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.”
On this verse:
“The sea--the host of Median invaders. The image (compare Jer 47:2; Isa 8:7-8) is appropriately taken from the Euphrates, which, overflowing in spring, is like a "sea" near Babylon (Jer 51:13, Jer 51:32, Jer 51:36).”
