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 ¡Muerte a sus caballos y carros!¡Muerte a todos sus mercenarios!¡Que se vuelvan como mujeres!¡Muerte a sus tesoros!¡Que sean saqueados!
38 ¡Muerte a sus aguas!¡Que queden secas!Porque Babilonia es un país de ídolos,de ídolos terribles que provocan la locura.
39 »Por eso las fieras del desiertovivirán allí con las hienas;también los avestruces harán allí su morada.Nunca más volverá a ser habitada;quedará despoblada para siempre.
40 Será como cuando Dios destruyó a Sodoma y Gomorra,y a sus ciudades vecinas;allí nadie volverá a vivir,ni la habitará ningún ser humano—afirma el SEÑOR—.
41 »Del norte viene un ejército;desde los confines de la tierrase preparan una gran nación y muchos reyes.
