What Does Jeremiah 50:10 Mean?
The word of the LORD confirms that Babylon will become spoil—taken as booty by the conquering nations. This transforms the great empire that enriched itself through conquest into a victim stripped of its wealth. The reversal of fortune is complete.
The phrase that spoilers shall be satisfied emphasizes abundance. There is so much wealth to take that all who participate in the conquest will be fully rewarded. The implication is that Babylon's riches, accumulated through exploitation of nations including Judah, will be redistributed as judgment.
