Jeremiah 51:44
_ _ Bel ... swallowed — in allusion to the many sacrifices to the idol which its priests pretended it swallowed at night; or rather, the precious gifts taken from other nations and offered to it (which it is said to have “swallowed”; compare “devoured,” “swallowed,” Jeremiah 51:34; Jeremiah 50:17), which it should have to disgorge (compare Jeremiah 51:13; Jeremiah 50:37). Of these gifts were the vessels of Jehovah’s temple in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 36:7; Daniel 1:2). The restoration of these, as foretold here, is recorded in Ezra 1:7-11.
_ _ flow — as a river; fitly depicting the influx of pilgrims of all “nations” to the idol. |

Bel — Bel was the principal Babylonian idol. Bring forth — All the vessels of the temple, 2 Chronicles 36:7, and whatever gifts the Babylonians had presented to him. The wall — And the city of Babylon shall be also ruined. |
Jeremiah 51:44
And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which (a) he hath swallowed: and the nations shall not flow together any more to him: even the wall of Babylon shall fall.
(a) That is, his gifts and presents which he had received as part of the spoil of other nations, and which the idolaters brought to him from all countries. |
