Jeremiah 50:15

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

Shout against her round about - Encompass her with lines and with troops; let none go in with relief, none come out to escape from her ruin.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Shout - i. e., spoken of the war-cry. So in Isaiah 42:13, where God is compared to a warrior, it is said He shall shout (the King James Version cry), i. e., raise the war-cry.

Site hath given her hand - The sign of submission (compare 1 Chronicles 29:24 margin).

Foundations - Or, buttresses. The Septuagint: “battlements.”

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
The desolation that shall be brought upon Babylon is set forth in a variety of expressions. 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 again into good pasture. All who return to God and their duty, shall find satisfaction of soul in so doing. Deliverances out of trouble are comforts indeed, when fruits of the forgiveness of sin.
