Jeremiah 50:22
“The noise of battle is in the land—the noise of great destruction.
BSB
ASV
A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
KJV
A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
A sound of battle is in the land,.... In the land of the Chaldeans, as it is expressed in the Septuagint and Arabic versions; the noise of warriors, the clashing of arms, and sound of trumpets, both of the enemy entered into the land, and of the Chaldeans arming themselves in their own defence: and of great destruction; in the same land; or in Babylon, as Abarbinel supplies it; this is the consequent of the former.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
