Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

50:21-32 The forces are mustered and empowered to destroy Babylon. Let them do what God demands, and they shall bring to pass what he threatens. The pride of men's hearts sets God against them, and ripens them apace for ruin. Babylon's pride must be her ruin; she has been proud against the Holy One of Israel; who can keep those up whom God will throw down?

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 30. - With the exception of "her" in the second clause, a repetition of Jeremiah 49:26.

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets,.... Or "surely" (f); it is the form of an oath, according to Jarchi Cyrus, when he took Babylon, ordered proclamation to be made that the inhabitants should keep within doors; and that whoever were found in the streets should be put to death (g), as doubtless many were:

and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord; as Belshazzar and his guards were (h); see Daniel 5:30; compare with this Revelation 19:18.

(f) "certe". (g) Cyropaedia, l. 7. c. 23. (h) Ibid.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

30. (See on [996]Jer 49:26).

in the streets—The Babylonians were so discouraged by having lost some battles that they retired within their walls and would not again meet Cyrus in the field.
