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

Verse Jeremiah 50:31. O thou most proud — זדון zadon. PRIDE in the abstract; proudest of all people.
