Jeremiah 51:52

“Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will do judgment upon her graven images, etc.] Destroy their gods, who have reproached the God of Israel, and profaned his sanctuaries; and for that reason; (see Gill on “<245147>Jeremiah 51:47”); it is an answer to the objection and complaint of the Jews, and is designed for their comfort and encouragement: and through all her land the wounded shall groan; because of their wounds and pain; and which their idols could not cure, ease, or prevent.”

“Wherefore--because of these sighs of the Jews directed to God (Jer 51:21). I . . . judgment upon . . . images--in opposition to the Babylonian taunt that Jehovah's religion was a thing of naught, since they had burned His temple (Jer 51:51): I will show that, though I have thus visited the Jews neglect of Me, yet those gods of Babylon cannot save themselves, much less their votaries, who shall "through all her land" lie and "groan" with wounds.”

“Wherefore - For this profanation of my holy place, I will be revenged not only upon their idols, but upon the worshippers of them, and cause a groaning of wounded men over all the country of the Chaldeans. Jeremiah 51:55”

“51:52 Yes: The Lord agreed with his people that their past was shameful, but he gave them hope for the future when Babylon’s power would be broken.”

“that I: Jer 51:47, Jer 50:38 her graven images: This was verified when Xerxes destroyed all the temples of Babylon, bc 479. the wounded: Isa 13:15, Isa 13:16; Eze 30:24; Dan 5:30, Dan 5:31 Jeremiah 51:53”
