From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

In that day -In the time of the captivity at Babylon. Shall punish -Hebrew as the Margin, ‘Shall visit upon’ (see the note atIsaiah 10:12). The host of the high ones -There have been various interpretations of this expression. Jerome understands it of the host of heaven, and thinks it refers to the fact that in the day of judgment God will judge not only earthly things but celestial, and especially the sun and moon and stars, as having ‘been the objects of idolatrous worship (seeDeuteronomy 4:19;Daniel 8:10;Daniel 11:13). ComparePsalms 18:17;Jeremiah 25:30, where the words ‘on high’ are used to denote heaven.
