Jeremiah 50:11 in Multiple Translations
“Because you rejoice, because you sing in triumph— you who plunder My inheritance— because you frolic like a heifer treading grain and neigh like stallions,
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heifer that treadeth out the grain, and neigh as strong horses;
Because you are glad, because you are lifted up with pride, you wasters of my heritage, because you are playing like a young cow put out to grass, and you make a noise like strong horses;
Though for now you Babylonians celebrate and sing triumphantly as you plunder my special people, though for now you jump around like a frisky young cow treading out the grain, and neigh like stallions,
Because yee were glad and reioyced in destroying mine heritage, and because ye are growen fatte, as the calues in the grasse, and neied like strong horses,
Because thou rejoicest, because thou exultest, O spoilers of Mine inheritance, Because thou increasest as a heifer [at] the tender grass, And dost cry aloud as bulls,
“Because you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses,
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of my heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
Because you rejoice, and speak great things, pillaging my inheritance: because you are spread abroad as calves upon the grass, and have bellowed as bulls.
“You people of Babylon who ◄plundered/stole everything valuable from► my chosen people, now you are very happy [DOU]. You run around joyfully like [SIM] a calf in a meadow, and are happy like [SIM] male horses are happy when they are neighing.

Context — Babylon’s Fall Is Certain
9For behold, I stir up and bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north. They will line up against her; from the north she will be captured. Their arrows will be like skilled warriors who do not return empty-handed.
10Chaldea will be plundered; all who plunder her will have their fill,” declares the LORD.
11“Because you rejoice, because you sing in triumph— you who plunder My inheritance— because you frolic like a heifer treading grain and neigh like stallions,
12your mother will be greatly ashamed; she who bore you will be disgraced. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. 13Because of the wrath of the LORD, she will not be inhabited; she will become completely desolate. All who pass through Babylon will be horrified and will hiss at all her wounds.Cross References

Jeremiah 50:11 Summary
[Jeremiah 50:11 is a warning to those who rejoice in the suffering of God's people, saying that they will be ashamed and desolate. This verse reminds us that God is a God of justice and vengeance, as seen in Deuteronomy 32:43, and that He will avenge the blood of His servants. We should be careful not to take advantage of or rejoice in the suffering of others, but instead cultivate a heart of compassion and empathy, as seen in Matthew 25:31-46, where Jesus teaches us to care for the least of these. By trusting in God's justice and vengeance, we can have hope and confidence in His goodness and love.]

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 50:11
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage,.... This is addressed to the Chaldeans who destroyed Jerusalem and the land of Judea, once the heritage of the Lord; when
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 50:11
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls; Because ye were glad ... ye rejoiced, O ye
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:11
They rejoiced at the ruin of the Jews; the same thing is laid to the charge of the Edomites, Obadiah 12. The Chaldeans were God’ s rod to scourge the Jews; but when men are made use of by God, as his rod and scourge, they ought not to put off humanity, but to behave themselves decently, and as persons that are sensible of the miseries which their brethren suffer. God calls them his heritage, because they formerly were a people whom he owned above all other people. There is some difference amongst critical interpreters, whether the heifer here mentioned be to be understood of a heifer at grass, ( as we translate it,) or a heifer used to tread out the corn; or whether the last words be to be understood of a horse neighing, (as the words may be interpreted,) or a bull bellowing. But these are things of very small moment. The cause for which Babylon is threatened was doubtless their luxury of all sorts commonly attending great wealth, and prosperity meeting with hearts unsanctified.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:11
Jeremiah 50:11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;Ver. 11. Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced,] scil., In a thing of naught, and in the miseries of my people ye were madly merry; therefore shall ye be let bleed in the vena cava, hollow vein. Because ye are grown fat.] Ye have laughed yourselves fat, you have fatted yourselves as in a day of slaughter or of good cheer. It was at a feast that Babylon was taken. And bellow as bulls.] Or, Neigh as steeds, lusty steeds. Causam ponit petulantiam et dicacitatem. - Oecol.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:11
(11) Destroyers of mine heritage.—Better, plunderers or robbers.Ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass.—Better, the Hebrew text being in the singular, thou leapedst as the heifer while threshing. The rule of Deu 25:4 (“Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn “) made the image significant enough. The English version has, however, the support of the LXX. and Vulg. And bellow as bulls.—Better, thou didst neigh as strong steeds. The verb is the same as in Jeremiah 5:8, the noun the same as in Jeremiah 8:16.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:11
Verse 11. As the heifer at grass] Ye were wanton in the desolations ye brought upon Judea.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 50:11
11. an heifer] LXX render calves, which is better. that treadeth out the corn] mg. at grass, vocalising (with LXX) the Hebrew differently. The cattle were without muzzles when treading the corn (Deuteronomy 25:4). neigh] See on Jeremiah 8:16.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:11
BABYLON’S AND ISRAEL’S GLORY, Jeremiah 50:11-20.11. Ye were glad… ye destroyers of mine heritage — They not only executed God’s will of just judgment, but their own will of selfish ambition and bitter hate.
