Context — Judgment on Babylon
4And they will fall slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and pierced through in her streets.
5For Israel and Judah have not been abandoned by their God, the LORD of Hosts, though their land is full of guilt before the Holy One of Israel.”
6Flee from Babylon! Escape with your lives! Do not be destroyed in her punishment. For this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; He will pay her what she deserves.
7Babylon was a gold cup in the hand of the LORD, making the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore the nations have gone mad. 8Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been shattered. Wail for her; get her balm for her pain; perhaps she can be healed.Cross References

Jeremiah 51:6 Summary

This verse reminds us that God is a just and holy God who will punish sin, but also that He is merciful and loving towards His people (as seen in Jeremiah 31:3 and Psalm 103:8-10). Just like the people in Babylon, we need to be aware of the sin in our lives and turn to God for forgiveness and salvation. By trusting in God's sovereignty and mercy, we can have confidence that He will ultimately bring justice and righteousness to the world.

Flee out of the midst of Babylon,.... This is said either to such as were there of other nations upon trade and business, as Kimchi, to get out of it as fast as they could, that they might not be
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 51:6
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence. Flee out of the midst of Babylon.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:6
It is a matter of no great moment whether we understand these words as spoken to the Jews in the captivity of Babylon, as , or to those whom the Chaldeans had hired to help them, or to such strangers as for their secular advantages lived in Babylon. By soul here seemeth to be meant life, and by iniquity the punishment of the Babylonians’ iniquity (as the Hebrew word oft signifies); though in the New Testament these words be used as a monition to people to separate from the idolatries of mystical Babylon, yet they seem here to be only a warning to others to remove out of the reach of Babylon’ s fall. For this is the time of the Lord’ s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence; for the time is come when God hath determined to take vengeance on Babylon, and to recompense to her all her sin, and that cruelty which she showed to the Jews in particular.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:6
Jeremiah 51:6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this [is] the time of the LORD’ S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.Ver. 6. Flee out of the midst of Babylon.] See Jeremiah 18:1-23. So, in the Hew Testament, we are called upon to flee and avoid the corruptions of the world and of Antichrist. For this is a time, &c.] As Jeremiah 50:15; Jeremiah 50:25; Jeremiah 50:27-28; Jeremiah 46:10.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 51:6
(6) Flee out of the midst of Babylon.—The words reproduce the call of Jer 50:8 with a fresh motive. The city was doomed. It was ill done for those who had not been guilty of her sins to involve themselves in her destruction. The call is reproduced, as referring to the mystical Babylon, in Revelation 18:4.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 51:6
6. Flee] addressed to the Jewish residents in Babylon. Cp. Jeremiah 51:45 (“My people”), Jeremiah 50:6; Isaiah 48:20; Isaiah 52:6.
