John Gill, on Jer 51:52

“Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit her graven things, and in all her land the wounded shall groan:”

“A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon,.... Of the inhabitants of it upon its being taken; which is said to denote the certainty of it, which was as sure as if the cry of the distressed was then heard: and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans; that is, the report of a great destruction there, was, or would be, carried from thence, and spread all over the world.”
