Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word that the Lord spake against Babylon,.... Or "to", of "of Babylon" c; the city of Babylon, the metropolis of the Chaldean empire; sometimes it signifies the whole country, here the city only, as appears by what follows:
[and] against the land of the Chaldeans; whither the Jews were carried captive, for whose comfort this prophecy is delivered out; and which had subdued other nations, and was become an universal monarchy; these people are mentioned last, because the rest of the nations were to drink the cup of God's wrath at their hands, and then they were to drink it after them; see Jeremiah 25:9; this is to be understood not only of Babylon and its empire, literally taken, but of mystical Babylon and its dependencies; of Rome, and its jurisdiction; of antichrist, and the antichristian states, the last enemies of the church and people of God, who will be destroyed by the pouring out of the seven vials; see Revelation 15:1. This prophecy, which is called "the word that the Lord spake", for it was from him, the thing was decreed and declared by him, came
by Jeremiah the prophet, to whom the king of Babylon had been very kind; but yet he must be, and was, faithful as a prophet, to deliver what he had from the Lord concerning the ruin of his empire.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER L
This and the following chapter contain a prophecy relating to
the fall of Babylon, interspersed with several predictions
relative to the restoration of Israel and Judah, who were to
survive their oppressors, and, on their repentance, to be
pardoned and brought to their own land. This chapter opens with
a prediction of the complete destruction of all the Babylonish
idols, and the utter desolation of Chaldea, through the
instrumentality of a great northern nation, 1-3.
Israel and Judah shall be reinstated in the land of their
forefathers after the total overthrow of the great Babylonish
empire, 4, 5.
Very oppressive and cruel bondage of the Jewish people during
the captivity, 6, 7.
The people of God are commanded to remove speedily from
Babylon, because an assembly of great nations are coming out of
the north to desolate the whole land, 8-10.
Babylon, the hammer of the whole earth, the great desolator of
nations, shall itself become a desolation on account of its
intolerable pride, and because of the iron yoke it has rejoiced
to put upon a people whom a mysterious Providence had placed
under its domination, 11-34.
The judgments which shall fall upon Chaldea, a country addicted
to the grossest idolatry, and to every species of superstition,
shall be most awful and general, as when God overthrew Sodom
and Gomorrah, 35-40.
Character of the people appointed to execute the Divine
judgments upon the oppressors of Israel, 41-45.
Great sensation among the nations at the very terrible and
sudden fall of Babylon, 46.
NOTES ON CHAP. L
Verse Jeremiah 50:1. THE WORD THAT THE LORD SPAKE AGAINST BABYLON — This is also a new head of discourse.
The prophecy contained in this and the following chapter was sent to the captives in Babylon in the fourth year of the reign of Zedekiah. They are very important; they predict the total destruction of the Babylonish empire, and the return of the Jews from their captivity. These chapters were probably composed, with several additions, out of the book that was then sent by Jeremiah to the captives by the hand of Seraiah. See Jeremiah 51:59-64.
