O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
Tú que vives rodeada de ríos y canales, con toda tu riqueza y tesoros, tu tiempo se ha acabado, y tu codicia finalmente te ha alcanzado.
La riqueza y codicia no pueden proteger cuando llega el juicio divino.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context, Jeremiah was a prophet in ancient Judah during the Babylonian exile, delivering God's warnings against Babylon, a powerful empire that had conquered many nations and amassed great wealth through conquest and trade. Babylon, located near the Euphrates River which provided it with strategic waterways, symbolized a city "dwelling on many waters" and overflowing with treasures, but this verse foretells its inevitable destruction as divine judgment for its greed and oppression. The prophecy reflects the broader biblical narrative of God's sovereignty over world powers, emphasizing that no empire escapes accountability.
