Jeremiah 51:42
The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered in turbulent waves.
BSB
ASV
The sea is come up upon Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
KJV
The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
The sea is come up upon Babylon,.... A vast army, comparable to the great sea for the multitude thereof, even the army of the Medes and Persians under Cyrus; so the Targum, "a king with his armies, which are numerous like the waters of the sea, is come up against Babylon:'' she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof; being surrounded, besieged, surprised, and seized upon by the multitude of soldiers in that army, which poured in upon it unawares.
The sea--the host of Median invaders. The image (compare Jer 47:2; Isa 8:7, 8) is appropriately taken from the Euphrates, which, overflowing in spring, is like a "sea" near Babylon (Jer 51:13, 32, 36).
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
