Listen to Jeremias 51:37
37 E Babilônia se tornará em montões, morada de chacais, objeto de espanto e assobio, sem habitante.

Jeremias 51:37 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 51:37

And Babylon shall become heaps
The houses should be demolished, and the stones lie in heaps one upon another, and become mere rubbish: a dwelling place for dragons;
and other wild and savage creatures. Dragons, as Aelianus F1 observes, love to live in desert places, and such now Babylon is; it lies in ruins; and even its palace is so full of scorpions and serpents, as Benjamin of Tudela F2 says it was in his time, that men durst not enter into it; see ( Jeremiah 50:39 ) ( Isaiah 13:21 Isaiah 13:22 ) ; an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant;
an astonishment to neighbouring nations, and to all that pass by; who shall hiss at the destruction of it, and rejoice, there being not so much as a single inhabitant in it; which is its case to this day; see ( Jeremiah 50:13 Jeremiah 50:39 ) .

Jeremias 51:37 In-Context

35 A violência que se me fez a mim e � minha carne venha sobre Babilônia, diga a moradora de Sião. O meu sangue caia sobre os moradores de Caldéia, diga Jerusalém.
36 Pelo que assim diz o Senhor: Eis que defenderei a tua causa, e te vingarei; e secarei o seu mar, e farei que se esgote a sua fonte:
37 E Babilônia se tornará em montões, morada de chacais, objeto de espanto e assobio, sem habitante.
38 Juntos rugirão como leões novos, bramarão como cachorros de leões.
39 Estando eles excitados, preparar-lhes-ei um banquete, e os embriagarei, para que se regozijem, e durmam um perpétuo sono, e não despertem, diz o Senhor.
