| Jeremiah 51:34 | Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, hath eaten me up, he hath devoured me; he hath made me as an empty vessel; he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicate meats, and he hath cast me out. | Dragon, or huge fish, which swallows without chewing. Sion is here venting her complaint, Psalm 136:8. (Calmet) --- She shews that Babylon is justly punished for her cruelty towards God's people. (Worthington) |
