Contextual Overview

¹ The Lord says, "I will cause a powerful, destructive wind to blow against Babylon and the Babylonians. ² I will send foreigners to winnow Babylon, and they will take everything from the city. Armies will surround the city, and there will be terrible destruction. ³ The Babylonian soldiers will not get to use their bows and arrows. They will not even put on their armor. Don't feel sorry for the soldiers of Babylon. Destroy her army completely! ⁴ Babylon's soldiers will be killed in the land of the Chaldeans. They will be badly wounded in the streets of Babylon." ⁵ The Lord All-Powerful did not leave Israel and Judah alone, like a widow. No, they are guilty of leaving the Holy One of Israel. Their God did not leave them. They left him! ⁶ Run away from Babylon. Run to save your lives! Don't stay and be killed because of Babylon's sins! It is time for the Lord to punish the Babylonians for the bad things they have done. Babylon will get the punishment that she should have. ⁷ Babylon was like a golden cup in the Lord 's hand. Babylon made the whole world drunk. The nations drank Babylon's wine, so they went crazy. ⁸ But Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken. Cry for her! Get medicine for her pain, and maybe she can be healed. ⁹ We tried to heal Babylon, but she cannot be healed. So let us leave her, and let each of us go to our own country. God in heaven will decide Babylon's punishment. He will decide what will happen to Babylon. ¹⁰ The Lord got even for us. Come, let's tell about that in Zion. Let's tell what the Lord our God has done.

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.
