Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 50:1

1 THE word that the LORD spake against Babylon, and against the land of the Caldeans by Jeremiah the prophet .

The Prophet having from the 46th. chapter been denouncing the Judgments of God against the other Gentiles, the Egyptians, Moabites, Philistines, Ammonites, Edomites, Syrians, Kedarens, Hazorites, Elamites, or Persians (the most of which had been Enemies to the Jews) in these two chapters he denounceth Gods judgments against the Chaldeans and Babylonians. These were to execute Gods vengeance on all the rest, and therefore are themselves threatned in the last place to be destroyed by the Medes, the Prophesie against them, is mixed with many gracious promises to the Jews.
