Jeremías 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);

Jeremías 50:39 In-Context

37 Espada contra sus caballos y contra sus carros, y contra todos los extranjeros que están en medio de ella, y serán como mujeres. Espada contra sus tesoros, y serán saqueados.
38 Sequía sobre sus aguas, y se secarán; porque es una tierra de ídolos, y se vuelven locos por sus horribles ídolos.
39 Por tanto, allí vivirán las fieras del desierto junto con las hienas, también vivirán avestruces en ella; nunca más será habitada ni poblada por generación y generación.
40 Como cuando Dios destruyó a Sodoma, a Gomorra y a sus ciudades vecinasdeclara el SEÑOR ningún hombre habitará allí, ni residirá en ella hijo de hombre.
41 He aquí, un pueblo viene del norte, una gran nación, y muchos reyes se levantarán de los confines de la tierra.
