Chaldea shall be a prey: all who prey on her shall be satisfied, says Yahweh.

Verse Takeaways

1

A Complete and Total Plunder

Commentators like John Calvin and John Gill highlight the phrase "all that prey upon her shall be satisfied." They explain that this signifies an unusually complete and total devastation. The plunder of Chaldea will be so immense that its conquerors, who are typically insatiable, will have their fill. This points to the absolute emptying of Babylon's wealth and power as a direct act of God's judgment.
