Jeremias 50:39 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:39

Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts
of the islands shall dwell [there]
Of these creatures (See Gill on Isaiah 13:21); and (See Gill on Isaiah 13:22); and the owls shall dwell therein;
so mystical Babylon when fallen shall become the habitation of devils, the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird, ( Revelation 18:2 ) ; and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt
in from generation to generation;
interpreters observe that this was gradually accomplished: it was taken by Cyrus, and made tributary to the Persians; the seat of the empire was removed from it; its walls were demolished by Darius; it was drained both of its inhabitants and its riches through Seleucus Nicator building the city Seleucia F18 near it. In Adrian's time there was nothing but an old wall left; and in Jerom's time it was a park for the king of Persia to hunt in; (See Gill on Jeremiah 50:13); and (See Gill on Isaiah 13:20);

Jeremias 50:39 In-Context

37 A espada virĂ¡ sobre os seus cavalos, e sobre os seus carros, e sobre todo o povo misto, que se acha no meio dela, e eles se tornarĂ£o como mulheres; a espada virĂ¡ sobre os seus tesouros, e estes serĂ£o saqueados.
38 CairĂ¡ a seca sobre as suas Ă¡guas, e elas secarĂ£o; pois Ă© uma terra de imagens esculpidas, e eles pelos seus Ă­dolos fazem-se loucos.
39 Por isso feras do deserto juntamente com lobos habitarĂ£o ali; tambĂ©m habitarĂ£o nela avestruzes; e nunca mais serĂ¡ povoada, nem serĂ¡ habitada de geraĂ§Ă£o em geraĂ§Ă£o.
40 Como quando Deus subverteu a Sodoma e a Gomorra, e �s suas cidades vizinhas, diz o Senhor, assim ninguĂ©m habitarĂ¡ ali, nem peregrinarĂ¡ nela filho de homem.
41 Eis que um povo vem do norte; e uma grande naĂ§Ă£o e muitos reis se levantam das extremidades da terra.
