Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 51:49

49 As Babylon hath caused the slain o[illegible: 1 letter] Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth .

The words in the Hebrew have some difficulty which is not so obvious to those not acquainted with that Language, but hath given occasion to Interpreters to vary in their particular Translations of it, but they mostly agree in the general sense. viz that these words are given as a reason why the whole earth should so much rejoyce in the ruine of Babylon, because Babylon had caused Israel to fall, the latter term all the earth must be understood in a restrained sense, for that earth; the Caldeans coming up from all parts of Chaldea to help Babylon. should be slain there, as by the means of Babylon the Israelites were slain that came up from all parts of Iudea to help Ierusalem.

Marginal references: Or, both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain or Israel, and with Babylon, &c.; Or, t[illegible: 1 letter]e c[illegible: 2 letters]ntry.
