Commentary on Jeremiah 50:35
A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD (חֶרֶב עַל־כַּשְׂדִּים, cherev al-Kasdim)—The fivefold anaphora 'a sword upon' creates relentless drumbeat of judgment. Babylon, who wielded God's sword against nations (27:6-8), now faces that same weapon turned against them. The cherev (sword) represents both military conquest and divine judgment. Upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men—comprehensive targeting: general population, political rulers, and intellectual elite. Babylon's famed wisdom tradition (Daniel 1:20, 2:2) cannot avert this sword.
