Jeremiah 51:55
_ _ great voice — Where once was the great din of a mighty city, there shall be the silence of death [Vatablus]. Or, the “great voice” of the revelers (Jeremiah 51:38, Jeremiah 51:39; Isaiah 22:2). Or, the voice of mighty boasting [Calvin], (compare Jeremiah 51:53).
_ _ her waves — “when” her calamities shall cause her to give forth a widely different “voice,” even such a one as the waves give that lash the shores (Jeremiah 51:42) [Grotius]. Or, “when” is connected thus: “the great voice” in her, when her “waves,” etc. (compare Jeremiah 51:13). Calvin translates, “their waves,” that is, the Medes bursting on her as impetuous waves; so Jeremiah 51:42. But the parallel, “a great voice,” belongs to her, therefore the wave-like “roar” of “their voice” ought also belong to her (compare Jeremiah 51:54). The “great voice” of commercial din, boasting, and feasting, is “destroyed”; but in its stead there is the wave-like roar of her voice in her “destruction” (Jeremiah 51:54). |
Jeremiah 51:55
The great voice — The noises caused from multitudes of people walking up and trafficking together. A noise — The noise of her enemies that shall break in upon her shall be like the roaring of the sea. |

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
