A Sin Against God's People
Commentators emphasize that Babylon's primary sin 'against the Lord' was its cruel oppression of His people. John Calvin explains that God takes wrongs done to the faithful personally, viewing an attack on His Church as an attack on Himself. This shows how precious believers are to God, who considers one who hurts them as touching 'the apple of His eye' (Zechariah 2:8).
