Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 51:26

_ _ corner ... stone ... foundations — The corner-stone was the most important one in the building, the foundation-stones came next in importance (Ephesians 2:20). So the sense is, even as there shall be no stones useful for building left of thee, so no leading prince, or governors, shall come forth from thy inhabitants.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 51:1-58.
