Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 50:15

15 Shout against her round about : she hath given her hand : her foundations are faln, her walls are thrown down : for it is the vengeance of the LORD : take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her .

Either as Souldiers use to shout when they fall upon their Enemy, or as they use to shout and Triumph when they are entred a City, or when their Enemies fly.

Either acknowledging themselves overcome, and yielding themselves to the power of their Enemies, or as some think confederating with the Lydians, but the former is more probable.

That is, she is wholly subdued and conquered, as if her Walls were thrown down, for literally her Walls were not beaten down by Cyrus, for he took the City by surprize.

God is he who brings this Vengeance upon Babylon, though it be by your hands.

It is very observable, that there is hardly any sins which the Lord so ordinarily punisheth in the like kind, as those which are offences against the Lawes of Iustice and Charity. The common fate of cruel and uncharitable men, is to meet with others to do to them, as they have done to others, unmerciful men find no mercy. See Psal. 137.8, 9. Iudg. 1.6, 7. Adoni-Bezek acknowledged Gods Justice in it.
