Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 46:10

_ _ vengeance — for the slaughter of Josiah (2 Kings 23:29).

_ _ sword shall devour ... be ... drunk — poetical personification (Deuteronomy 32:42).

_ _ a sacrifice — (Isaiah 34:6; Ezekiel 39:17). The slaughter of the Egyptians is represented as a sacrifice to satiate His righteous vengeance.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 46:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 46:10

Made drunk — These phrases only metaphorically signify, the great slaughter God would make that day amongst the Egyptians.

(h) He calls the slaughter of God's enemies a sacrifice, because it is a thing that pleases him, (Isaiah 34:6).

(i) That is, at Carchemish.
