Jeremiah 50 10 Word Analysis
- shinnu (Hebrew: שִׁנּוּ) - This verb form implies paying back, recompense, or rewarding. It is the perfect tense, third person masculine plural of shalah (שָׁלַח), often translated as "to send." However, in this context, it relates to rendering or assigning what is due.
- kefel (Hebrew: כָּפְלָה) - This word means "double" or "to double." It emphasizes the thoroughness and intensity of the retribution. It's the Qal perfect, third person feminine singular of kaphel (כָּפַל).
- lâhem (Hebrew: לָהֶם) - This is the third person masculine plural pronoun, meaning "to them."
- amal (Hebrew: עָמָל) - This refers to toil, labor, mischief, or iniquity. It represents the evil deeds and oppressive actions of Babylon.
- pô’alêhem (Hebrew: פָּעֳלֵיהֶם) - This is the construct form of poal (פֹּעַל), meaning deeds, works, or actions, combined with the third person masculine plural suffix, "their." So, "their deeds" or "their actions."
- zəkhar-zəkhur (Hebrew: זֵכֶר־זָכוּר) - This phrase signifies remembrance or memorial. The repetition emphasizes that even their memory, their name, will be reckoned with. It means "male remembered," but the context is broader, suggesting full accountability for all they have done.
Word Group Analysis:
- "reap their recompense": This signifies the judgment that will fall upon them as a result of their own conduct, drawing from the principle of sowing and reaping found elsewhere in scripture.
- "their deeds": This points to the specific actions of Babylon – their violence, idolatry, and oppression against God's people.
- "double their iniquity": This emphasizes not only receiving payment for their sins but receiving a doubled measure, signifying a severe and complete judgment for their accumulated wickedness.
Jeremiah 50 10 Bonus Section
The concept of "doubling" in scripture can signify completeness or intensified judgment. For instance, in Isaiah 61:7, it speaks of receiving double in place of shame. In this context for Babylon, it implies a judgment that fully matches and surpasses their oppressive reign, leaving no sin unaddressed and no deed unrequited. This severe retribution highlights God's absolute sovereignty over all nations and His ultimate commitment to justice for His people.
Jeremiah 50 10 Commentary
Jeremiah 50:10 articulates a core biblical principle: divine retribution. God is a God of justice, and while He is merciful, He also judges sin. Babylon, due to its pride, cruelty, and defiance, had reached a point where it would face severe judgment. The verse assures that their efforts (their "toil" or "deeds") will be repaid to them, and indeed, doubled. This implies that their judgment would be proportionate to, and perhaps even exceed, the suffering they inflicted. The message is that God holds nations accountable for their actions, and His justice, though sometimes delayed, will ultimately prevail. This verse echoes the warnings and prophecies found throughout scripture regarding the judgment of wicked nations.
