Contextual Overview
21 The Lord said: I have told the enemies of Babylonia, "Attack the people of Merathaim and Pekod. Kill them all! Destroy their possessions!" 22 Sounds of war and the noise of destruction can be heard. 23 Babylonia was a hammer pounding every country, but now it lies broken. What a shock to the nations of the world! 24 Babylonia challenged me, the Lord God All-Powerful, but that nation doesn't know it is caught in a trap that I set. 25 I've brought out my weapons, and with them I will put a curse on Babylonia. 26 Come from far away, you enemies of Babylon! Pile up the grain from its storehouses, and destroy it completely, along with everything else. 27 Kill the soldiers of Babylonia, because the time has come for them to be punished. 28 The Babylonian army destroyed my temple, but soon I will take revenge. Then refugees from Babylon will tell about it in Zion. 29 Attack Babylon, enemy archers; set up camp around the city, and don't let anyone escape. It challenged me, the holy God, so do to it what it did to other cities. 30 People of Babylon, I, the Lord , promise that even your best soldiers will lie dead in the streets.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The voice of them that flee and escape out the land of Babylon,.... The Jews that were captives in Babylon, upon the taking of it, took that opportunity to flee out Of it, and make their escape to their own land, which some of them might do before the proclamation of Cyrus; whose voice declaring to their brethren in Judea what God had done to Babylon, and rejoicing at it, was as if it was heard by the prophet in vision, or under a spirit of prophecy; this also is true of them who will be called out of mystical Babylon, and escape from thence, just before its destruction, Revelation 18:4;
to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance of his temple; the vengeance which God took on the Chaldeans for their ill usage of his people, and for plundering and burning his temple; this the Jews, when they came to their own land, declared to their brethren there with joy and pleasure; and a like joy will be expressed when God shall avenge his people on antichrist, for his blasphemy against him, his name, his tabernacle, and them that dwell in it,
Revelation 13:6.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The voice of them ... - i. e., There is a sound of fugitives escaping from Babylonia. The Jews saw in the fall of Babylon Yahweh’s vengeance for His temple.
