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
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.
