The houses should be demolished, and the stones lie in heaps one upon another, and become mere rubbish:<\/p>\n a dwelling place for dragons<\/strong>; and other wild and savage creatures. Dragons, as Aelianus a observes, love to live in desert places, and such now Babylon is; it lies in ruins; and even its palace is so full of scorpions and serpents, as Benjamin of Tudela b says it was in his time, that men durst not enter into it; see Jer 50:39<\/span>;<\/p>\n an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant<\/strong>; an astonishment to neighbouring nations, and to all that pass by; who shall hiss at the destruction of it, and rejoice, there being not so much as a single inhabitant in it; which is its case to this day; see Jer 50:13<\/span>.<\/p>\n a De Animal. l. 6. c. 63. b Itinerarium, p. 76.<\/p>\n He confirms what he had said, that when God raised his hand against Babylon, such would be its destruction, that the splendor, which before astonished all nations, would be reduced to nothing. Perish, he says, shall all the wealth of Babylon — its towers and its walls shall fall, and its people shall disappear; in short, it shall become heaps of stones, as he said before, that it would become a mountain of burning. It is then for the same purpose that he now says that it would become heaps. But we must bear in mind what we observed yesterday, that it would become such heaps that they would not be fit for corners, that they could not be set in foundations; for the ruins would be wholly useless as to any new building. <\/p>\n He says that it would become an astonishment and a hissing Moses also used these words, when he threatened the people with punishment, in case they transgressed the law of God. (Deu 28:37<\/span>.) But these threatenings extend to all the ungodly, and the despisers of God. Then God fulfilled as to the Babylonians what he had denounced by Moses on all the despisers of his law. It then follows, — <\/p>\n (37) Babylon shall become heaps . . .<\/strong>It is significant, as emphasising the law of retribution, that the terms are the same as those used of Jerusalem in Jer. 9:11<\/span>; Jer. 19:8<\/span>; Jer. 25:9<\/span>; Jer. 25:18<\/span>. Nothing is more characteristic of the present aspect of Babylon than the heaps or mounds of brickwork, fragments of pottery and earth, that are now scattered over the plain, and are slowly yielding up their records of the past to explorers. The dragons here (not the same word as in Jer. 51:34<\/span>) are the jackals that howl in the ruins. (See Note on Jer. 10:22<\/span>.)<\/p>\n 37<\/strong>. <\/strong> Heaps <\/strong> Namely, of rubbish. How literally this has been fulfilled is shown by Rawlinson.
