Verse 16

"Thou art filled with shame, and not glory: drink thou also, and be as one circumcised; the cup of Jehovah's right,hand shall come around unto thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory."

"As one uncircumcised ..." Babylon was a city of people who had no covenant relationship with God, her condition being therefore all the more hopeless. This reference to the "foreskin" as it is in the Hebrew, "expresses the most utter contempt."[38] The Hebrew also carries the meaning here that, "Thou shalt drink it all," all of the wrath of God.[39] It may not be doubted for a moment that this came to pass. Where is Babylon today? Where will be those nations which today are living without God, when TOMORROW comes? The universal arrogance and conceit which mark the conduct of evil men today is exactly like that of the ancient Babylonians, and shall be as little effective against the will of God, as was theirs.
