Contextual Overview

²¹ Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the people of Pekod; put them to death and send destruction after them, says the Lord, and do everything I have given you orders to do. ²² There is a sound of war in the land and of great destruction. ²³ How is the hammer of all the earth cut in two and broken! how has Babylon become a waste among the nations! ²⁴ I have put a net for you, and you have been taken, O Babylon, without your knowledge: you have been uncovered and taken because you were fighting against the Lord. ²⁵ From his store-house the Lord has taken the instruments of his wrath: for the Lord, the Lord of armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldaeans. ²⁶ Come up against her one and all, let her store-houses be broken open: make her into a mass of stones, give her to the curse, till there is nothing of her to be seen. ²⁷ Put all her oxen to the sword; let them go down to death: sorrow is theirs, for their day has come, the time of their punishment. ²⁸ The voice of those who are in flight, who have got away safe from the land of Babylon, to give news in Zion of punishment from the Lord our God, even payment for his Temple. ²⁹ Send for the archers to come together against Babylon, all the bowmen; put up your tents against her on every side; let no one get away: give her the reward of her work; as she has done, so do to her: for she has been uplifted in pride against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel. ³⁰ For this cause her young men will be falling in her streets, and all her men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts,.... Or, O "pride", or O "man of pride" i; intolerably proud, superlatively so, as the kings of Babylon were, as Nebuchadnezzar, and Belshazzar likewise, the present king; so the Targum interprets it of a king,

"behold, I send my fury against thee, O wicked king;''

and is applicable enough to the man of sin, that monster of pride, that exalts himself above all that is called God, or is worshipped, 2 Thessalonians 2:4; and therefore it is no wonder that the Lord is against him, who resists all that are proud; and woe to him and them that he is against:

for the day is come, the time [that] I will visit thee; in a way of vindictive wrath and justice, for pride and other this; see Jeremiah 50:27.

i זדון Heb. "superbia", Schmidt; vel "vir superbiae", Piscator; so Abarbinel.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Babylon is here called Pride, just as in Jeremiah 50:21 she was called Double-rebellion.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 50:31. O thou most proud — זדון zadon. PRIDE in the abstract; proudest of all people.
