- a wilderness:
- "A swordª [is] upon¹ the Chaldeans,ª saithª° the LORD,ª and upon¹ the inhabitantsª° of Babylon,ª and upon¹ her princes,ª and upon¹ her wiseª [men]. ... As Godª overthrewª¹ Sodomª and Gomorrahª and the neighbourª [cities] thereof, saithª° the LORD;ª [so] shall no¹ manª abideª° there,¹ neither¹ shall any sonª of manª dwellª° therein." {Jer 50:35-40} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ when seventyª yearsª are accomplished,ª° [that] I will punishª°¹ the kingª of Babylon,ª and that¹ nation,ª saithª° the LORD,ª for¹ their iniquity,ª and the landª of the Chaldeans,ª and will makeª° it perpetualª desolations.ª" {Jer 25:12} + "Behold,¹ I [am] against¹ thee, O destroyingª mountain,ª saithª° the LORD,ª which destroyestª°¹ all¹ the earth:ª and I will stretch outª°¹ mine handª upon¹ thee, and roll thee downª° from¹ the rocks,ª and will makeª° thee a burntª mountain.ª ... And they shall not¹ takeª° of¹ thee a stoneª for a corner,ª nor a stoneª for foundations;ª but¹ thou shalt be¹ desolateª for ever,ª saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 51:25-26} + "Her citiesª are¹ a desolation,ª a dryª land,ª and a wilderness,ª a landª wherein¹ no¹¹ manª dwelleth,ª° neither¹ doth [any] sonª of manª passª° thereby.ª" {Jer 51:43} + "Then shalt thou say,ª° O LORD,ª thou¹ hast spokenª° against¹ this¹ place,ª to cut it off,ª° that none¹ shall¹ remainª° in it, neither manª¹ nor¹ beast,ª but¹ that it shall be¹ desolateª for ever.ª ... And thou shalt say,ª° Thus¹ shall Babylonª sink,ª° and shall not¹ riseª° fromª¹ the evilª that¹ I¹ will bringª° upon¹ her: and they shall be weary.ª° Thus¹ far¹ [are] the wordsª of Jeremiah.ª" {Jer 51:62-64} + "It shall neverª¹ be inhabited,ª° neither¹ shall it be dweltª° in from generationª to¹ generation:ª neither¹ shall the Arabianª pitch tentª° there;¹ neither¹ shall the shepherdsª° make their foldª° there.¹ ... And the wild beasts of the islandsª shall cryª° in their desolate houses,ª and dragonsª in [their] pleasantª palaces:ª and her timeª [is] nearª to come,ª° and her daysª shall not¹ be prolonged.ª°" {Isa 13:20-22} + "For I will rise upª° against¹ them, saithª° the LORDª of hosts,ª and cut offª° from Babylonª the name,ª and remnant,ª and son,ª and nephew,ª saithª° the LORD.ª" {Isa 14:22} + "Andª aª mightyª angelª took upª° a stoneª likeª a greatª millstone,ª andª castª° [it] intoª the¹ sea,ª saying,ª° Thusª with violenceª shall²° that greatª cityª Babylonª be thrown down,ª° andª shall be foundª° no more² at all.ª¹ ... Andª the lightª of a candleª shall shineª° no more² at allª¹ inª thee;ª andª the voiceª of the bridegroomª andª of the brideª shall be heardª° no more² at allª¹ inª thee:ª forª thyª merchantsª wereª° the¹ great menª of the¹ earth;ª forª byª thyª sorceriesª were²° allª nationsª deceived.ª°" {Rev 18:21-23}
