The sound of an outcry from Babylon,God used Babylon to punish the Jews for their sins. They had ignored God's commands and turned away to worship other gods. He therefore brought destruction upon them, via Babylon.
And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
However, that doesn't mean that Babylon got a free pass. God can use any tool He wishes; in fact, unless He decides to intervene directly, His only option is to used flawed tools. But Babylon was no better than Judea (in fact, much worse), so they had to be punished in turn, as well.
