Jeremiah 51:29

_ _ land shall tremble ... every purpose of ... Lord shall be performed — elegant antithesis between the trembling of the land or earth, and the stability of “every purpose of the Lord” (compare Psalms 46:1-3).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 51:1-58.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

The land — Babylon, or the land of Chaldea.
