Jeremiah 50:14-15

Jeremiah 50:14-15

[14] Put yourselves in array  against Babylon  round about:  all ye that bend  the bow,  shoot  at her, spare  no arrows:  for she hath sinned  against the LORD.  [15] Shout  against her round about:  she hath given  her hand:  her foundations  are fallen,  her walls  are thrown down:  for it is the vengeance  of the LORD:  take vengeance  upon her; as she hath done,  unto her.

What does Jeremiah 50:14-15 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Yahweh called Babylon"s enemies to attack her with all their strength because she had sinned against Him. The destruction should continue until the land was thoroughly ruined. She had destroyed other nations, and now she deserved the same treatment. The clause "she has given her hand" may be treaty terminology (cf. 2 Kings 10:15; Ezekiel 17:11-21).
"What is clearly in view here is treaty violation by concluding a treaty with another party." [1]
