Contextual Overview
21 "Attack the land of Meratayim; attack it and those living in P'kod. Waste them, utterly destroy them; do all I have ordered you," says Adonai . 22 "The sound of battle is heard in the land, with great destruction! 23 How the hammer of the whole earth lies hacked apart and shattered! What an object of horror among the nations Bavel has become! 24 I set a trap and caught you, Bavel, before you knew it. You were discovered and seized, because you challenged Adonai . 25 Adonai has opened his store of arms and brought out the weapons of his wrath; for Adonai Elohei -Tzva'ot has work to do in the land of the Kasdim. 26 Attack her from every direction! Open her stores of grain! Pile her up like heaps of grain; destroy her completely; leave nothing! 27 Kill all her bulls! let them go down to be slaughtered! Woe to them! for their day has come, the time for them to be punished." 28 Hear the sound of the fugitives, of those escaping from Bavel, coming to proclaim in Tziyon the vengeance of Adonai our God, vengeance over his temple. 29 "Call up archers against Bavel, all whose bows are strung. Besiege her from every side, let no one escape. Repay her for her deeds; as she has done, do to her. For she insulted Adonai , the Holy One of Isra'el. 30 This is why her young men will fall in her open places, why all her warriors will be silenced on that day," says Adonai .

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
