Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 50

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

As to “God’s instrument”, Babylonia, what is to become of it?
And, when Babylonia is conquered, what is to ensue for the Jewish exiles resident therein?
How does Jeremiah “apologize” (explain) the malfeasance of the people (Jeremiah 50:6)?
Jeremiah 50:15 sets down a principle of “just sequence”. What is it?
Do transgressions “disappear” or are they (in time) forgiven – for some (Jeremiah 50:20)?
If Babylonia is God’s instrument, what is the thrust of the judgment (rendered “vengeance” in most translations) in Jeremiah 50:28?
Who will free the exiles of Judea to return (Jeremiah 50:34-35)?
Which nation is to destroy Babylonia (Jeremiah 50:41)?
