Jeremiah 9:11

11 et dabo Hierusalem in acervos harenae et cubilia draconum et civitates Iuda dabo in desolationem eo quod non sit habitator

Jeremiah 9:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 9:11

And I will make Jerusalem heaps
That is, the walls and houses of it shall be thrown down, and become heaps of stones and rubbish: and a den of dragons;
only inhabited by wild beasts: and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without inhabitant;
so that the calamity would be universal; not only Jerusalem, but all the cities of the land, would be destroyed, forsaken, and uninhabited.

Jeremiah 9:11 In-Context

9 numquid super his non visitabo dicit Dominus aut in gentem huiuscemodi non ulciscetur anima mea

10 super montes adsumam fletum ac lamentum et super speciosa deserti planctum quoniam incensa sunt eo quod non sit vir pertransiens et non audierunt vocem possidentis a volucre caeli usque ad pecora transmigraverunt et recesserunt

11 et dabo Hierusalem in acervos harenae et cubilia draconum et civitates Iuda dabo in desolationem eo quod non sit habitator

12 quis est vir sapiens qui intellegat hoc et ad quem verbum oris Domini fiat ut adnuntiet istud quare perierit terra exusta sit quasi desertum eo quod non sit qui pertranseat

13 et dixit Dominus quia dereliquerunt legem meam quam dedi eis et non audierunt vocem meam et non ambulaverunt in ea
