The Hebrew root for "say" is "אָמַר" (amar), which is often used in the context of divine communication. This highlights the authority and certainty of the message being delivered. In the biblical narrative, prophets were the mouthpieces of God, and their words carried the weight of divine decree. This command underscores the role of Jeremiah as a faithful servant tasked with delivering God's judgment.In the same way This phrase draws a parallel between the symbolic act of sinking and the fate of Babylon. The Hebrew context suggests a comparison or analogy, emphasizing the certainty and completeness of Babylon's downfall. Historically, Babylon was a powerful empire, and the imagery of it sinking conveys a dramatic and irreversible collapse. This serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty over nations and His ability to bring about His purposes.Babylon will sink The imagery of sinking is powerful and evocative. In Hebrew, the word for "sink" can be associated with being overwhelmed or submerged. Babylon, once a symbol of human pride and achievement, is prophesied to be utterly destroyed. Archaeologically, Babylon was a city of grandeur, yet its ruins today testify to the fulfillment of this prophecy. This serves as a warning against pride and a reminder of the transient nature of earthly power.and never rise again This phrase emphasizes the finality of Babylon's destruction. The Hebrew root for "rise" is "קוּם" (qum), which often denotes standing or establishing. The prophecy declares that Babylon's fall will be permanent, a stark contrast to its former glory. Historically, Babylon did not recover its former status, aligning with this prophetic declaration. This illustrates the theme of divine justice and the ultimate triumph of God's will.because of the disaster I will bring upon her The word "disaster" in Hebrew is "רָעָה" (ra'ah), which can mean calamity or evil. This indicates that the destruction of Babylon is a direct act of divine judgment. The phrase underscores God's active role in the unfolding of historical events. It serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of sin and rebellion against God, as Babylon was known for its idolatry and opposition to God's people.And her people will grow weary The Hebrew root for "weary" is "יָגַע" (yaga'), which conveys exhaustion or fatigue. This suggests not only physical weariness but also a sense of despair and hopelessness. The people of Babylon, once confident in their strength, will be brought low and left without hope. This reflects the broader biblical theme that those who oppose God will ultimately find their efforts futile and their strength depleted.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/51.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(64) They shall be weary.--The words are identical with those that had closed the great prophecy in <a href="/jeremiah/51-58.htm" title="Thus said the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labor in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.">Jeremiah 51:58</a>. What was meant was probably that Seraiah was to repeat the last words of the prediction, and, as they passed his lips, was to fling the roll into the river. That submersion was typical of the end of the futile labour and weariness of the men of the doomed city.Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.--The words are clearly of the nature of what we should call an editorial note by the compiler of Jeremiah's prophecies, Baruch or another. He is careful to inform his readers that the narrative that follows in Jeremiah 52 was not written by Jeremiah.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/51.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 64. - And they shall be weary.
