Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 51:51

_ _ The prophet anticipates the Jews’ reply; I know you will say in despair, “We are confounded,” etc. “Wherefore (God saith to you) behold, I will,” etc. (Jeremiah 51:52) [Calvin]. I prefer taking Jeremiah 51:51 as the prayer which the Jews are directed to offer in exile (Jeremiah 51:50), “let Jerusalem come into your mind” (and say in prayer to God), “We are confounded.” This view is confirmed by Psalms 44:15, Psalms 44:16; Psalms 79:4; Psalms 102:17-20; Isaiah 62:6, Isaiah 62:7.

_ _ for strangers — The “reproach,” which especially has stung us, came when they taunted us with the fact that they had burned the temple, our peculiar glory, as though our religion was a thing of naught.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 51:1-58.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 51:51

We — We Jews are ashamed to hear the enemies reproaching us, for our God, or for our religion. Strangers — Pagans that were strangers to the commonwealth of Israel, are come, not to worship, but to plunder, the sanctuaries of the Lord; even into the courts of the priests and of the Israelites; yea, into the most holy place.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

We are (f) confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for foreigners are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD'S house.
