Gill's Notes on the Bible

A sword [is] upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord,.... Or, "shall be" k or, "O sword, [be thou] on the Chaldeans" l; that is, the sword of the Medes and Persians; those that kill with the sword, as the Targum; in the mystic sense, the Christian princes that shall draw the sword against the antichristian states:

and upon the inhabitants of Babylon; the metropolis of Chaldea; the common people in it, as distinguished from those of high rank and degree following:

and upon her princes; Belshazzar and his nobles, who were slain the night Babylon was taken:

and upon her wise [men]; prime ministers, politicians, and counsellors of state; neither high birth nor great wisdom can secure from the sword of the enemy, when it has a commission from God, as it had here.

k "Erit", Abarbinel; "irruet", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. l חרב על כשדים "gladie, super Chaldaeos, scil. veni, ades", Schmidt.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Omit “is.” A summons comes from Yahweh, Israel’s Goel, to the sword to fall upon all the elements of Babylon’s greatness. The princes were her rulers at home and her generals in war. The wise men were those upon whose learning she so prided herself (Daniel 1:4 note).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 50:35. A sword — War and its calamities, or any grievous plague; and so in the following verses.
