Jeremiah 50:11
_ _ (Isaiah 47:6).
_ _ grown fat — and so, skip wantonly.
_ _ at grass — fat and frisky. But there is a disagreement of gender in Hebrew reading thus. The Keri is better: “a heifer threshing”; the strongest were used for threshing, and as the law did not allow their mouth to be muzzled in threshing (Deuteronomy 25:4), they waxed wanton with eating.
_ _ bellow as bulls — rather, “neigh as steeds,” literally, “strong ones,” a poetical expression for steeds (see on Jeremiah 8:16) [Maurer]. |
Jeremiah 50:11
Because — They rejoiced at the ruin of the Jews. Fat — The cause for which Babylon is threatened, was doubtless their luxury of all sorts commonly attending great wealth. |
Jeremiah 50:11
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of my heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, (m) and bellow as bulls;
(m) For joy of the victory that you had against my people. |
