Gill's Notes on the Bible

Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans,.... This, in the literal sense, is a call to the Jews in Babylon, and in other parts of Chaldea, to go out from thence upon the proclamation of Cyrus; and especially to the chief of them, to animate the rest, and set them an example; such as Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Ezra, and others: and, in the mystical sense, is a call to the people of God in Rome, and the antichristian states, to come out from thence, a little before the destruction thereof, as in Revelation 18:4; which seems to refer to this passage:

and be as the he goats before the flocks; which walk stately and nimbly, cheerfully and readily, without fear and dread, boldly and confidently, and encourage others to follow them. The Targum is,

"as princes at the head of their people.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

So firmly did the Jews settle themselves in Babylon under Jeremiah’s counsels, that they were the last to abandon the place.

He goats - See Isaiah 14:9 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 50:8. Remove out of the midst of Babylon — The sentence of destruction is gone out against it; prepare for your flight, that ye be not overwhelmed in its ruin.

Be as the he-goats before the flocks. — Who always run to the head of the flock, giving the example for others to follow. This may be addressed to the elders and persons of authority among the people.
