Jeremiah 50:2

Verse Jeremiah 50:2. Declare ye among the nations] God's determination relative to this empire.

Set up a standard] Show the people where they are to assemble.

Say, Babylon is taken] It is a thing so firmly determined, that it is as good as already done.

Bel] The tutelar deity of Babylon is confounded, because it cannot save its own city.

Merodach] Another of their idols, is broken to pieces; it was not able to save itself, much less the whole empire.

Her idols are confounded] It is a reproach to have acknowledged them.

Her images] Great and small, golden and wooden, are broken to pieces; even the form of them no longer appears.
