12 vuestra madre se avergonzará en gran manera, será humillada la que os dio a luz. He aquí, será la última de las naciones: desierto, sequedal y yermo.

Jeremías 50:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:12

Your mother shall be sore confounded
The monarchy of the Chaldeans; so the Targum and jarchi, your congregation; or rather their metropolis, their mother city, the city of Babylon; which would be confounded when taken, none of her sons being able to defend her: the same will be true of mystical Babylon, the mother of harlots, ( Revelation 17:5 ) ; she that bare you shall be ashamed;
which is the same as before, in different words: behold, the hindermost of the nations [shall be] a wilderness, a dry
land, and a desert;
or, as the Vulgate Latin version, "she shall be the last among the nations"; she that was the head of them, signified by the head of gold in Nebuchadnezzar's image, shall now be the tail of them, and become like a dry land and desert, without inhabitants, having neither men nor cattle in it; see ( Jeremiah 50:3 ) ; or, as Jarchi and Kimchi, their end, "the latter end" ^F13 of the kingdom of Babylon; or what should befall that people in their last days would be, that their land should become a wilderness, the habitants being slain, and none to till it; or Babylon is called the last of the nations, because her punishment, in order of time, was last, as Gussetius ^F14 thinks; ( Jeremiah 25:26 ) .

Jeremías 50:12 In-Context

10 Y Caldea se convertirá en botín; todos los que la saqueen se saciarándeclara el SEÑOR.

11 Porque os alegráis, porque os regocijáis, saqueadores de mi heredad, porque saltáis como novilla trilladora y relincháis como caballos sementales,

12 vuestra madre se avergonzará en gran manera, será humillada la que os dio a luz. He aquí, será la última de las naciones: desierto, sequedal y yermo.

13 A causa del enojo del SEÑOR, no será habitada, sino que estará desolada toda ella; todo el que pase por Babilonia se quedará atónito y silbará a causa de todas sus heridas.

14 Poneos en orden contra Babilonia en derredor, todos los que entesáis el arco; tirad contra ella, no escatiméis las flechas, porque ha pecado contra el SEÑOR.
