Context — The Destruction of Babylon
31“Behold, I am against you, O arrogant one,” declares the Lord GOD of Hosts, “for your day has come, the time when I will punish you.
32The arrogant one will stumble and fall with no one to pick him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities to consume all those around him.”
33This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “The sons of Israel are oppressed, and the sons of Judah as well. All their captors hold them fast, refusing to release them.
34Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of Hosts is His name. He will fervently plead their case so that He may bring rest to the earth, but turmoil to those who live in Babylon. 35A sword is against the Chaldeans, declares the LORD, against those who live in Babylon, and against her officials and wise men.Cross References

Jeremiah 50:33 Summary
This verse tells us that the people of Israel and Judah were being treated unfairly and held captive by their enemies, who wouldn't let them go. But God sees their suffering and promises to rescue them, just like He did for the Israelites in Egypt (Exodus 14:13-14). This shows us that God is a powerful and compassionate God who cares about justice and wants to set His people free. He wants us to trust in Him and know that He will always be with us, even in difficult times (Psalm 23:4).

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 50:33
Thus saith the Lord of hosts,.... This is a preface to another prophecy, detached from the former, respecting the redemption of the Lord's people by the Messiah; and is used to excite the attention
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 50:33
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:33
Were oppressed together; not together in respect of times, for’ there was one hundred and fifty years difference betwixt the time of Israel’ s and Judah’ s captivity; nor by the same enemy, Israel was carried away captive by the Assyrians, Judah by the Chaldeans. Together in this place signifies no more than that they were both oppressed, or alike oppressed. And all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go: and some may think that my prophecies are but flatteries and vain words, for those who have them in their hands are able to keep them, and will not be willing to let them go.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:33
Jeremiah 50:33 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah [were] oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.Ver. 33. The children of Judah and the children of Israel were oppressed together.] Or, Were oppressed alike - scil., in their several deportations; and God, mindful of his covenant, showeth himself sensible of it, though for the present he seemed not to care what became of either of them; - “ Ille dolet quoties cogitur esse ferox. ”
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:33
(33) Were oppressed.—Better, are oppressed, and so on through the verse. The English tense is misleading. The prophet, having described the doom that lies in the future, now returns to the present, and finds in the actual state of Israel that which made the destruction of Babylon a necessary condition of its liberation. All appeals to the mercy of their conquerors, Assyrian or Chaldæan, had been made in vain.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 50:33
33. hold … refuse] The Babylonian oppressors act like Pharaoh of old.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 50:33
Were oppressed - are “oppressed together: and all their captors have laid firm hold upon them: they have refused to let them go.” The restoration of Israel and Judah to their land is necessary.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 50:33
33. Were oppressed — In this verse there has been an unfortunate rendering as to tense. The reading should be, are oppressed… their captors have kept hold… they have refused to let them go.
