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.
