Reclutad arqueros contra Babilonia, a todos los que entesan el arco; acampad contra ella por todos lados, que no haya escape. Dadle el pago conforme a su obra; conforme a todo lo que ha hecho, así haced con ella; porque se ha vuelto insolente contra el Señor , contra el Santo de Israel.
La Biblia Reina-Valera Gomez
Haced juntar contra Babilonia arqueros, a todos los que entesan arco; acampad contra ella alrededor; no escape de ella ninguno: pagadle segn su obra; conforme a todo lo que ella hizo, haced con ella; porque contra Jehov se ensoberbeci, contra el Santo de Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Call together the archers against Babylon,.... The Medes and Persians, who were well skilled in archery, especially the Elamites; see Isaiah 22:6; hence Horace d makes mention of "Medi pharetra"; and Cyrus in Xenophon e says, that he had under his command sixty thousand men that wore targets and were archers;

Isaiah 22:6- :. Some render it "many", as the Targum; and the sense is, either gather many together against Babylon, a large army; or cause many to hear the vengeance against Babylon; publish this good news; so the word used by the Targum signifies; and this will be done by Gospel preachers, with respect to mystical Babylon, Revelation 14:6;

all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape; surround it on every side; besiege it so closely that none may be able to escape:

recompence her according to her work: according to all that she hath done, do unto her; which is the law of retaliation;

Revelation 14:6- :; and with it compare

Revelation 18:6;

for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel; behaved haughtily and contemptuously towards the Lord and his people; burning the city and temple of Jerusalem; profaning the vessels of it, and ill treating the captive Jews; so the Targum,

"because she hath spoken ill against the people of the Lord, saying words which were not right before the Holy One of Israel;''

which may fitly be applied to antichrist the man of sin, sitting in the temple of God, showing himself as God; opening his mouth in blasphemy against him and his saints, 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

d Carmin. l. 2. Ode 16. e Cyropaedia, l. 2. c. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Or, “Summon the archers to Babylon, even all who bend the bow: encamp against her etc.” In this portion of the prophecy the capture of Babylon is regarded as the punishment due to her for burning the temple Jeremiah 50:28.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 50:29. Call together the archers — The preceding verses are the prediction: here, God calls the Medes and Persians to fulfil it.
