The severe judgment of God against Babylon, in revenge of Israel59. Jeremiah delivers the book of this prophecy to Seraiah, to be cast into Euphrates, 64. in token of the perpetual sinking of Babylon You who dwell by many waters This phrase refers to Babylon, which was situated by the Euphrates River and had an extensive network of canals and waterways. The Hebrew word for "dwell" (יָשַׁב, yashab) implies a sense of permanence and security. Historically, Babylon was known for its impressive irrigation systems that supported agriculture and trade, contributing to its wealth and power. Spiritually, this phrase can be seen as a reminder that earthly security and abundance are fleeting and should not be the foundation of one's trust. rich in treasures your end has come the thread of your life is cut The measure of thy covetousness.--The measure is literally "an ell," and for "covetousness" many commentators give the meaning of "that which is cut off," a "piece" or "section." So taken, we may translate the ell-measure of thy portion, the allotted time of prosperity decreed in the Divine counsels. Others, following the Vulgate, "pedalis precisionis tu?," give "the ell-measure of thy cutting off," i.e., the appointed time of destruction. Verse 13. - Babylon is addressed as thou that dwellest upon many waters, with reference, not only to the Euphrates, but to the canals, dykes, and marshes which surrounded the city. The measure of thy covetousness. A strange expression, even when we have supplied (and have we a right to do so?) a suitable verb, such as "is full." "Measure" is, literally, ell, "covetousness" should rather be gain, or spoil. Another possible rendering is, "The ell measure of thy cutting off." In fact, the root meaning of the word rendered "gain," or "covetousness," is "to cut off;" and the figure of cutting off a man's half-finished life, like a web from the loom, is familiar to us from the psalm of Hezekiah (Isaiah 38:12; comp. Job 6:9).Parallel Commentaries ...
