This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
reason for God’s vengeance on Babylon: in executing God’s will against His people, she had done so with wanton cruelty (Isa 10:5, etc.; Jer 50:17; Jer 51:33; Zec 1:15).
polluted my inheritance - (Isa 43:28).
the ancient - Even old age was disregarded by the Chaldeans, who treated all alike with cruelty (Lam 4:16; Lam 5:12) [Rosenmuller]. Or, “the ancient” means Israel, worn out with calamities in the latter period of its history (Isa 46:4), as its earlier stage of history is called its “youth” (Isa 54:6; Eze 16:60).
