Context — Judgment on Babylon
8Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been shattered. Wail for her; get her balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.
9“We tried to heal Babylon, but she could not be healed. Abandon her! Let each of us go to his own land, for her judgment extends to the sky and reaches to the clouds.”
10“The LORD has brought forth our vindication; come, let us tell in Zion what the LORD our God has accomplished.”
11Sharpen the arrows! Fill the quivers! The LORD has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, because His plan is aimed at Babylon to destroy her, for it is the vengeance of the LORD— vengeance for His temple. 12Raise a banner against the walls of Babylon; post the guard; station the watchmen; prepare the ambush. For the LORD has both devised and accomplished what He spoke against the people of Babylon.Cross References

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 51:10
The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:10
These words are spoken as in the person of the Jews, owning the destruction of Babylon, 1. To be the mighty work of God. 2. An act of justice and judgment, pleading the cause and revenging the wrongs of his people; and owning the Jewish religion, and calling one to another to go to the temple to declare what God had done for them, and to give thanks unto him for it.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:10
Jeremiah 51:10 The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.Ver. 10. The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness,] i.e., Our just cause, and the righteousness of our religion, derided by the Babylonians.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:10
(10) The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness . . .—The Hebrew noun is plural—the many righteous acts or forms of righteousness. The thought is parallel to that of Isa 62:1. The exile in Babylon had been a time of reformation and growth in righteousness. The day of vengeance on the oppressing city was also a day of acquittal for Israel. It was seen that she had not forfeited the favour of Jehovah. She could still sing, as of old (Judges 5:11), the righteous acts of the Lord, and would sing them, as of old, in the restored sanctuary of Zion.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:10
Verse 10. The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness.] This is the answer of the Jews. God has vindicated our cause.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 51:10
10. hath brought forth our righteousness] hath made known the justice of our cause (by our enemy’s overthrow). Cp. Psalms 37:6.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 51:10
Yahweh hath brought to the light those things which prove us to be righteous: i. e., by punishing Babylon He hath justified
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:10
10. Righteousness — Literally, righteousnesses; the things which show us to be righteous.
