Context of Jeremiah 50:10

8‘People of Judah, escape quickly from Babylon! Leave the land of Babylonia! Be the first people to leave. Lead the other people away, like a male goat that leads the other goats. 9I will call a group of strong nations from the north. They will join together to fight against Babylon. They will get ready to attack. They will come from the north and they will take power over Babylon. Their arrows will be like brave soldiers. They will kill everyone that they want to kill. The people of Babylonia will lose all their things. Enemy soldiers will take everything that they want for themselves.’ That is what the Lord says. 11‘You people of Babylon are very happy, because you have robbed my people. You dance like young cows that have fresh grass to eat. You make a happy noise, like a strong male horse. 12Babylon is like your mother who gave you life, but she will become ashamed. Yes, she will become the least important of all nations. The country will be dry and empty, like a desert.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Or, “Chaldaea shall become a spoil … for thou wast glad, thou exultedst, ye plunderers of mine heritage.” Because ye are grown fat - Rather, for thou leapedst, skippedst as an animal does when playing.

Bellow as bulls - Better as in the margin.Read the comment

The cause of this destruction is the wrath of the Lord. Babylon shall be wholly desolated; for she hath sinned against the Lord. Sin makes men a mark for the arrows of God's judgments. The mercy promised to the Israel of God, shall not only accompany, but arise from the destruction of Babylon. These sheep shall be gathered from the deserts, and put…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 4-10This poem gave hope to the Israelite exiles in Babylon. It contrasted with the judgment and oppression they faced. The divine Judge is also the divine Savior.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-46After the predictions of judgment to be inflicted on other nations by Babylon, follows this one against Babylon itself, the longest prophecy, consisting of one hundred verses. The date of utterance was the fourth year of Zedekiah, when Seraiah, to whom it was committed, was sent to Babylon (Jr 51:59, 60).
