Jeremiah50:31
31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the LORD God of hosts, for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee .
Babylon is particularly branded for Pride, which is the swelling of a mans heart in a self opinion, caused from some thing wherein he excelleth, or thinks that he excelleth another. We have a large account of the Pride of Babylon, Isa. 14.12, 13, 14. and particularly of one of their Kings, Dan. 5.20, 21. The sinner exalteth himself against God, and either judgeth himself wiser, or more mighty than he.
Marginal references: Heb. Pride.
