As God spoke about the coming destruction of Babylon, because of their arrogance and rejection of his rule, he makes a point in 51:23 to speak of the depth of the disruption of Babylonian society. God will not only break apart the government but he will also destroy the sources of food and clothing that were the basis of Babylonian culture. When God rejects those who have persistently rejected him that separation is complete.
I kept getting interrupted so I’m guessing that it took at least 20 minutes to read this passage that closed the book of Jeremiah.
