The next verses emphasize particularly Yahweh"s sovereignty over Babylon. The last verse of this section ( Jeremiah 51:19) identifies the person being described as Yahweh Almighty. By referring to Him in the third person in the preceding verses, the writer built anticipation for the revelation of His identity. This prophecy is almost identical to the one in Jeremiah 10:12-16. There Jeremiah reminded Judah of the impotence of idols, and here he instructed Babylon about the same thing (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Corinthians 8:4; 1 Corinthians 10:7). There are many examples of doublets in Jeremiah. The prophet frequently repeated phrases, sentences, and whole passages in different contexts. [1][source]
