Contextual Overview

1 This is what the Lord says: "I will soon cause a destroying wind to blow against Babylon and the Babylonian people. 2 I will send foreign people to destroy Babylon like a wind that blows chaff away. They will destroy the land. Armies will surround the city when the day of disaster comes upon her. 3 Don't let the Babylonian soldiers prepare their bows to shoot. Don't even let them put on their armor. Don't feel sorry for the young men of Babylon, but completely destroy her army. 4 They will be killed in the land of the Babylonians and will die in her streets. 5 The Lord God All-Powerful did not leave Israel and Judah, even though they were completely guilty in the presence of the Holy One of Israel. 6 "Run away from Babylon and save your lives! Don't stay and be killed because of Babylon's sins. It is time for the Lord to punish Babylon; he will give Babylon the punishment she deserves. 7 Babylon was like a gold cup in the Lord 's hand that made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank Babylon's wine, so they went crazy. 8 Babylon has suddenly fallen and been broken. Cry for her! Get balm for her pain, and maybe she can be healed. 9 "Foreigners in Babylon say, ‘We tried to heal Babylon, but she cannot be healed. So let us leave her and each go to his own country. Babylon's punishment is as high as the sky; it reaches to the clouds.' 10 "The people of Judah say, ‘The Lord has shown us to be right. Come, let us tell in Jerusalem 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 51:45. My people, go ye out — A warning to all the Jews in Babylon to leave the city, and escape for their lives.
