Jeremias 51:28 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:28

Prepare against her the nations, with the kings of the Medes,
&c.] At the head of them, Darius and Cyrus. The Syriac version has it in the singular number, the king of the Modes: the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of
his dominions;
that is, the inhabitants of it, the common people, with their princes, nobles, governors, as captains of them, under Cyrus, their generalissimo.

Jeremias 51:28 In-Context

26 Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Jews dwelling in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord, my name shall no longer be in the mouth of every Jew to say, The Lord lives, in all the land of Egypt.

27 For I have watched over them, to hurt them, and not to do them good: and all the Jews dwelling in the land of Egypt shall perish by sword and by famine, until they are utterly consumed.

28 And they that escape the sword shall return to the land of Juda few in number, and the remnant of Juda, who have continued in the land Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand.

29 And this a sign to you, that I will visit you for evil.

30 Thus said the Lord; Behold, I give Uaphres king of Egypt into the hands of his enemy, and into the hands of one that seeks his life; as I gave Sedekias king of Juda into the hands of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, his enemy, and who sought his life.
