This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_50:15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it [is] the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
Ver. 15. Shout against her round about.] As they did once at Jericho; she shall come down assuredly.
She hath given her hand,] {a} i.e., She hath yielded, and cried quarter; add hereunto that two princes of Babylon, being displeased by Belshazzar, sent for Cyrus to take the city, and showed him how he might best do it. This was "giving the hands" saith Calvin.
As she hath done, do unto her.] Neque enim lex iustior ulla est. See Jdg_1:5. {See Trapp on "Jdg_1:5"}
{a} Deditionis est signum. Dare manus est fateri ae victum.
“ Victum tendere palmas
Ausanii videre. ” - Virg.
