Translation commentary on Jeremiah 51:52

By a section heading Bible en français courant indicates that the LORD is now speaking. The content of this verse is essentially the same as that of verse 47.

Execute judgment here means the same as “punish” there.

Through all her land the wounded shall groan; that is, “Everywhere in the land there will be wounded people groaning in pain.”
