Commentary on Jeremiah 51:9

Theological / Devotional

Healed Babylon. By the Captivity God purposed not only to bring Israel to repentance but also to acquaint with the true religion the Babylonians and other nations whom the Jews would meet in their exile. Through such men as Daniel and Ezekiel, the Babylonians were given the opportunity to know and to follow Jehovah. Their failure to do this was a contributing factor in their downfall.

Reacheth unto heaven. Compare Rev. 18:5.
