Jeremiah 50:30
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD.
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets,.... Or "surely" {f}; it is the form of an oath, according to Jarchi Cyrus, when he took Babylon, ordered proclamation to be made that the inhabitants should keep within doors; and that whoever were found in the streets should be put to death {g}, as doubtless many were:
and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD; as Belshazzar and his guards were {h}; see Daniel 5:30; compare with this
{f} Nkl "certe".
{g} Cyropaedia, l. 7. c. 23.
{h} Ibid.
