Jeremiah 50
1. The judgment of Babylon and the redemption of Israel














(37) And upon all the mingled people . . .--The phrase is the same as in Jeremiah 25:20. Here it is used of the auxiliaries of Babylon, which were probably as numerous, and to a large extent the same, as those of Persia. (See Note on Jeremiah 50:9.) The "treasures" point to the wealth in which Babylon exulted, and which gave to her the epithet of the "Golden City" (Isaiah 14:4). Even under the Persian monarchy 'schylus uses "gold-abounding" as a normal epithet for it. (Pers?, 53.)

Verse 37. - The mingled people; rather, the foreign peoples. Even if in Jeremiah 25:20 the Hebrew 'erebh is an ethnographical term reminding us of the Assyrian Urbi used of Bedouin tribes, it is clear that no such explanation will suit here (see on Jeremiah 25:20).
