Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Jer 51:47

Jer 51:47 · Douay-Rheims
“Therefore behold the days come, and I will visit the idols of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.”
On this verse:
“GROTIUS translates, "Because then (namely, on the third year) the time shall have come that," &c. confounded--at seeing their gods powerless to help them. her slain--in retribution for "Israel's slain" (Jer 51:49) who fell by her hand. GROTIUS translates, "her dancers," as in Jdg 21:21, Jdg 21:23; Sa1 18:6, the same Hebrew word is translated, alluding to the dancing revelry of the festival during which Cyrus took Babylon.”
