What Does Jeremiah 51:10 Mean?
The perspective shifts to God's people (likely Israel/Judah) responding to Babylon's judgment. 'The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness' means God has vindicated His people's cause and established their innocence through judgment on their oppressor. This is not human righteousness but vindication that comes from God.
'Come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God' calls for proclamation and worship. The work of God—His judgment on Babylon—is grounds for celebration and testimony. Zion (Jerusalem) becomes the center from which God's vindication is announced, restoring hope to His people.
