Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 51:24
And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD. I will render unto Babylon ... all their evil that they have done.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:24
The particle in the front of this verse, which our translators (understanding the four former verses of Cyrus) render and in a copulative sense, must be rendered now, or but, if the four former verses be understood of Babylon, and the sense is this: Though I nave hitherto made use of Babylon, and shall yet for a time make use of the Chaldeans and Babylonians to destroy several other nations; yet now the time is come that I will punish them, and recompense to them all the mischief they have done to the Jews, and some of the Jews shall live to see it.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:24

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:24
Verse 24. And I will render] The ו vau should be translated but, of which it has here the full power: "But I will render unto Babylon."
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 51:24
24. Babylon, after Jehovah has used it as the instrument by means of which to punish other nations, shall now be itself requited. “In your (the Jews’) sight” is to be connected with the opening words of the v. Cp. Psalms 91:8.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:24
20-24. Thou art — By “thou,” Ewald understands the king of Israel; Grotius, Cyrus and the Medes; Nagelsbach, an ideal person; Calmet and most expositors, Babylon. The last is to be preferred, and is supported by Jeremiah 50:23.
