This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
caused ... to fall - literally, “has been for the falling,” that is, as Babylon made this its one aim to fill all places with the slain of Israel, so at Babylon shall all the slain of that whole land (not as English Version, “of all the earth”) [Maurer]. Henderson translates, “Babylon also shall fall, ye slain of Israel. Those also of Babylon shall fall, O ye slain of all the earth.” But, “in the midst of her,” Jer 51:47, plainly answers to “at Babylon,” Jer 51:49, English Version.
