46:1–51:64 This series of messages is directed toward foreign nations (see 1:5, 10, and similar messages in Isa 13–23; Ezek 25–32; Amos 1:3–2:3). Through Nebuchadnezzar, the Lord was going to judge all the nations from the Euphrates River to Egypt for their rebellion and sins against him (cp. Lev 18:24-25). Ultimately, Babylon would also come under God’s judgment (Jer 50–51). These chapters were probably written while Jeremiah and Baruch were in hiding (36:27-32). Among the pronouncements of doom on the foreign nations for their sins are a few statements of hope for salvation. Collections of oracles against the nations are also found in Isaiah (Isa 13–23) and Ezekiel (Ezek 25–32). Although God used surrounding nations to punish his rebellious people, those nations were also held accountable for their actions. The Lord is not only the God of Israel; he is the God of the entire world.
