Contextual Overview

1 I, the Lord , am sending a wind to destroy the people of Babylonia and Babylon, its capital. 2 Foreign soldiers will come from every direction, and when the disaster is over, Babylonia will be empty and worthless. 3 I will tell these soldiers, "Attack quickly, before the Babylonians can string their bows or put on their armor. Kill their best soldiers and destroy their army!" 4 Their troops will fall wounded in the streets of Babylon. 5 Everyone in Israel and Judah is guilty. But I, the Lord All-Powerful, their holy God, have not abandoned them. 6 Get out of Babylon! Run for your lives! If you stay, you will be killed when I take revenge on the city and punish it for its sins. 7 Babylon was my golden cup, filled with the wine of my anger. The nations of the world got drunk on this wine and went insane. 8 But suddenly, Babylon will fall and be destroyed. I, the Lord , told the foreigners who lived there, "Weep for the city! Get medicine for its wounds; maybe they will heal." 9 The foreigners answered, "We have already tried to treat Babylon's wounds, but they would not heal. Come on, let's all go home to our own countries. Nothing is left in Babylonia; everything is destroyed." 10 The people of Israel said, "Tell everyone in Zion! The Lord has taken revenge for what Babylon did to us."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

My people, go ye out of the midst of her,.... This is a call of the Jews to go out of Babylon, not before the taking of the city by Cyrus; but when he should issue out a proclamation, giving them liberty to return to their own land; which many of them, being well settled in Babylon, would not be ready to accept of, but choose to continue there; wherefore they are urged to depart from thence, because of the danger they would be exposed unto; for though the city was not destroyed by Cyrus upon his taking it, yet it was by Darius Hystaspes some time after. The same call is given to the people of God to come out of mystical Babylon, Revelation 18:4;

and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the Lord; shown in the destruction of Babylon; Revelation 18:4- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The fierce anger of the Lord - i. e., against Babylon. The people of God are to flee away that they may not be involved in the miseries of Babylon. See the Jeremiah 50:8 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 51:45. My people, go ye out — A warning to all the Jews in Babylon to leave the city, and escape for their lives.
