It will never be inhabited or lived in for all generations; no Arab will pitch his tent there; no shepherds will make their flocks lie down there.

其内必永无人烟，世世代代无人居住。阿拉伯人也不在那里支搭帐棚；牧羊的人也不使羊群卧在那里。

国中必永无人烟，世世代代无人居住；阿拉伯人不在那里支搭帐棚，牧羊的人也不使羊群躺卧在那里。

国中必永无人烟，世世代代无人居住；阿拉伯人不在那里支搭帐棚，牧羊的人也不使羊群躺卧在那里。

那里必人烟绝迹，世世代代无人居住，没有阿拉伯人在那里支搭帐篷，也无人牧放羊群。

那地必永远没有居民，世世代代无人居住；阿拉伯人不在那里搭帐幕；牧羊人也不领羊群躺卧在那里。

那地必永无人烟，世世代代无人居住；阿拉伯人不会在那里支搭帐篷，牧人也不会让羊群躺卧在那里；

其內必永無人煙，世世代代無人居住。阿拉伯人也不在那裏支搭帳棚；牧羊的人也不使羊羣臥在那裏。

國中必永無人煙，世世代代無人居住；阿拉伯人不在那裏支搭帳棚，牧羊的人也不使羊羣躺臥在那裏。

國中必永無人煙，世世代代無人居住；阿拉伯人不在那裏支搭帳棚，牧羊的人也不使羊羣躺臥在那裏。

那裡必人煙絕跡，世世代代無人居住，沒有阿拉伯人在那裡支搭帳篷，也無人牧放羊群。

那地必永遠沒有居民，世世代代無人居住；阿拉伯人不在那裡搭帳幕；牧羊人也不領羊群躺臥在那裡。

那裏必永無居民，世世代代無人居住；遊牧民族不在那裏搭帳棚；牧羊的人不使羊羣躺在那裏。

那地必永無人煙，世世代代無人居住；阿拉伯人不會在那裡支搭帳篷，牧人也不會讓羊群躺臥在那裡；

永無人跡、代無居民、在此、亞拉伯人不張其幕、牧者不臥其羊、

自茲以後、代無居人、亞喇伯人不張其幕、牧者不使羊憩息、

永無居民、世無人居、亞拉伯人不張幕於彼、牧人不使羊群憩息於彼、

She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations; there no nomads will pitch their tents, there no shepherds will rest their flocks.

No one will ever live in Babylon again. No one will live there for all time to come. Those who wander in the desert will never set up their tents there. Shepherds will never rest their flocks there.

Babylon will never be inhabited again. It will remain empty for generation after generation. Nomads will refuse to camp there, and shepherds will not bed down their sheep.

It will never be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation; a nomad will not pitch his tent there, and shepherds will not let their flocks rest there.

It will never be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation; Nor will the Arab pitch his tent there, Nor will shepherds allow their flocks to lie down there.

It will never be inhabited, Nor will it be settled from generation to generation; Nor will the Arabian pitch tents there, Nor will the shepherds make their sheepfolds there.

It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there.

It will never be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation; a nomad will not pitch his tent there, and shepherds will not let their flocks rest there.

It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

No one will live there again; no one will ever reside there again. No bedouin will camp there, no shepherds will rest their flocks there.

It will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.

Her cities have become a horror, a land of drought and a desert, a land in which no one dwells, and through which no son of man passes.

“ And I will make it a possession of the hedgehog, and pools of water, and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” declares the Lord of hosts.

Because of the wrath of the Lord she shall not be inhabited but shall be an utter desolation; everyone who passes by Babylon shall be appalled, and hiss because of all her wounds.

and Babylon shall become a heap of ruins, the haunt of jackals, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant.

Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute, and the Arabians also brought him 7,700 rams and 7,700 goats.

The land trembles and writhes in pain, for the Lord’s purposes against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.

“ For out of the north a nation has come up against her, which shall make her land a desolation, and none shall dwell in it; both man and beast shall flee away.

Night and day it shall not be quenched; its smoke shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.But the hawk and the porcupine shall possess it, the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. He shall stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.Its nobles— there is no one there to call it a kingdom, and all its princes shall be nothing.Thorns shall grow over its strongholds, nettles and thistles in its fortresses. It shall be the haunt of jackals, an abode for ostriches.And wild animals shall meet with hyenas; the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; indeed, there the night bird settles and finds for herself a resting place.There the owl nests and lays and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow; indeed, there the hawks are gathered, each one with her mate.

“ Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, declares the Lord, which destroys the whole earth; I will stretch out my hand against you, and roll you down from the crags, and make you a burnt mountain.

Therefore hear the plan that the Lord has made against Babylon, and the purposes that he has formed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the little ones of their flock shall be dragged away; surely their fold shall be appalled at their fate.

“ Go up against the land of Merathaim, and against the inhabitants of Pekod. Kill, and devote them to destruction, declares the Lord, and do all that I have commanded you.

“ Therefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon, and ostriches shall dwell in her. She shall never again have people, nor be inhabited for all generations.

and say,‘ O Lord, you have said concerning this place that you will cut it off, so that nothing shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, and it shall be desolate forever.’When you finish reading this book, tie a stone to it and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates,and say,‘ Thus shall Babylon sink, to rise no more, because of the disaster that I am bringing upon her, and they shall become exhausted.’” Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,“ So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and will be found no more;and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters, will be heard in you no more, and a craftsman of any craft will be found in you no more, and the sound of the mill will be heard in you no more,and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.
