Jeremiah 51:7

Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 51:7 Go To Jeremiah 51

Jerome

AD 420
Church people are truly rustic and simple people, but all the heretics are Aristotelian and Platonic. Briefly, that you may know that gold is the usual simile for worldly eloquence, that the heretic’s tongue, for example, is as brilliant as gold, hear the words of the prophet: “Babylon was a golden cup in the hand of the Lord.” Note how he describes the Babylon of confusion. This world, therefore, is that golden cup. All nations drink from that cup of gold.
