Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 50:14

(o) Put yourselves in array against Babylon on every side: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath (p) sinned against the LORD.

(o) He speaks to the enemies the Medes and Persians.

(p) Though the Lord called the Babylonians his servants and their work his work in punishing his people, yet because they did it not to glorify God, but for their own malice and to profit themselves, it is here called sin.
