Jeremiah 50:30

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

Revelation 19:18.
