In the context of <a href="/jeremiah/51.htm">Jeremiah 51</a>, God is speaking through the prophet Jeremiah about the impending destruction of Babylon. The use of "man and woman" signifies the totality of the judgment, affecting all people regardless of gender. This reflects the universal nature of God's justice, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/genesis/6-7.htm">Genesis 6:7</a>, where God decides to destroy all flesh due to the wickedness of humanity. The imagery of shattering suggests a complete and irreversible action, highlighting the seriousness of divine retribution.<p><b>with you I shatter the old man and the youth;</b><br>The mention of both "old man and the youth" underscores that God's judgment is impartial and affects all age groups. This can be seen as a reflection of the principle found in <a href="/ezekiel/18-20.htm">Ezekiel 18:20</a>, where each individual is responsible for their own sin. The inclusion of different age groups also serves to illustrate the totality of the destruction that Babylon will face. Historically, Babylon was a powerful empire, and its fall would have been a significant event affecting all demographics within the society. This phrase also serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of human strength and wisdom, as even the old and experienced, as well as the young and vigorous, are not spared from God's judgment.<p><b>with you I shatter the young man and the maiden.</b><br>The pairing of "young man and the maiden" further emphasizes the comprehensive scope of the judgment. In ancient cultures, young men and maidens often represented the future and hope of a society. By including them in the list of those who will be shattered, the text highlights the complete eradication of Babylon's future potential and vitality. This can be connected to the broader biblical theme of the consequences of sin leading to the destruction of what is most cherished and promising. The imagery of shattering also evokes the idea of breaking something precious and valuable, underscoring the severity of the judgment. This phrase, like the others, serves as a sobering reminder of the seriousness of turning away from God and the inevitable consequences that follow.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Jeremiah was called by God to deliver messages of judgment and hope to the people of Judah and the surrounding nations.
