Jeremiah 50:31

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts,.... Or, O "pride", or O "man of pride" ; intolerably proud, superlatively so, as the kings of Babylon were, as Nebuchadnezzar, and Belshazzar likewise, the present king; so the Targum interprets it of a king,"behold, I send my fury against thee, O wicked king;''and is applicable enough to the man of sin, that monster of pride, that exalts himself above all that is called God, or is worshipped, 2Th 2:4; and therefore it is no wonder that the Lord is against him, who resists all that are proud; and woe to him and them that he is against:for the day is come, the time [that] I will visit thee; in a way of vindictive wrath and justice, for pride and other this; see Jer 50:27.
