Contextual Overview

1 Adonai says this: "Against Bavel and those living in Lev-Kamai I will stir up a destructive wind. 2 Against Bavel I will send foreigners to winnow her and leave her land empty. They will besiege her from every side on the day of disaster. 3 Let the archer draw his bow, let him flaunt his coat of mail; do not spare her young men, completely destroy her whole army. 4 In the land of the Kasdim the slain will fall, those thrust through [by the sword] in her streets. 5 Isra'el and Y'hudah are not left widowed of their God, Adonai -Tzva'ot; but the land of [the Kasdim] is full of guilt before the Holy One of Isra'el." 6 Flee from Bavel, let each one save his life! Don't perish because of her guilt. For the time has come for the vengeance of Adonai ; he will repay her what she deserves. 7 Bavel was a gold cup in the hands of Adonai ; it made the whole earth drunk — the nations drank her wine; this is why the nations have lost their senses. 8 Bavel has suddenly fallen. She is broken; wail for her. Bring healing ointment for her wounds; perhaps she can be healed. 9 "We tried to heal Bavel, but she cannot be healed. So leave her alone, and each of us will return to his own country." For the judgment against her rises to the skies and reaches even the clouds. 10 Adonai has brought forth our victory. Come, let us proclaim in Tziyon the work of Adonai our God!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans,.... By the sword, or by the arrows and darts of the Medes and Persians:

and [they that are] thrust through in her streets; either by the one or by the other, especially the latter, since they only are mentioned;

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Translate it: “And they,” i. e., the young men who form her host Jeremiah 51:3, “shall fall slain in the land of the Chaldaeans, and pierced through in her streets,” i. e., the streets of Babylon.
