John Trapp on Jeremiah 50:24

Ver. 24. I have laid a ſnare for thee] Thou wild-bull, ver. 27. Babylon was unexpectedly taken by a ſtratagem, whiles they were in the midſt of their revels.

And thou w[illegible: 1 letter]ſt not aware] The palace was ſuddenly ſeized upon: but ſome parts of the City knew not that the enemy was entred, till three dayes after: for it was the greateſt City that ever the Sun beheld,Ariſtot. Pollt. Pauſ. Arcad. ſaith Pauſanias; and the moſt ſuddainly ſurprized.

Becauſe thou haſt ſtriven againſt the Lord] Heb. haſt mingled thy ſelf with the Lord, incertamen ſcilicet, to wreſtle and fall with him, and to try maſteries.
