That you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!…


The Babylonian monarchy bade fair to be an absolute, universal, and perpetual one, and in these pretensions vied with the Almighty; it is, therefore, very justly not only brought down, but exulted over when it is down.

( M. Henry.)
