Behold, I am against you, O you most proud,
says the Lord GOD of hosts:
for your day has come, the time that I will punish you.
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 50:31 Go To Jeremiah 50
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Proud. So the Chaldeans are often styled in the Psalms. (Calmet)
The prophet addresses Nabuchodonosor, or rather Baltassar, (Menochius) under whom the city was taken, (Josephus) by Darius and Cyrus. He may be the Nabonides of Berosus, the question is so much perplexed. Yet "we are convinced that Darius reigned at Babylon before Cyrus, and took the city after the death of Baltassar. "(Calmet)
Most commentators are of a different opinion. (Haydock)
