# General Information:

Babylon will be destroyed because it drove the people of Judah from their homeland. The Jews will return to their homeland and this is in line with the promises of the covenant Yahweh made with Abraham to curse those who curse Abraham's descendants. The fulfillment of this prophecy would have been unthinkable because Babylon controlled almost the entire Near East. The ULB sets poetry (51:1-64) farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry.

# See

"Listen carefully" or "Pay attention"

# a wind of destruction

"a wind that destroys" or "the spirit of a destroyer". Yahweh would cause or inspire the enemy army to attack Babylon.

# Leb Kamai

This refers to Chaldea, a region of Babylonia. You may want to translate as "Chaldea" or "Babylonia". It is not clear why Jeremiah uses this name.
