Reformed 1771 · An Exposition of the Old and New Testament, Jeremiah 51:33

John Gill, on Jer 51:33

John Gill · 1697–1771
Jer 51:33 · Douay-Rheims
“For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a thrashingfloor, this is the time of her thrashing: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.”
On this verse:
“The violence done to me, and to my flesh, be upon Babylon,.... That is, let the injuries done to Zion and her children, be avenged on Babylon; the hurt done to their persons and families, and the spoiling of their goods, and destruction of their cities, houses, and substance: shall the inhabitant of Zion say; by way of imprecation: and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say; let the guilt of it be charged upon them, and punishment for it be inflicted on them. The Targum is, "the sin of the innocent blood which is shed in me;'' let that be imputed to them, and vengeance come upon them for it.”
