“And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. desolate: Heb. desolation”
Jeremiah 9:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 9:11
This verse announces Jerusalem's fate: 'And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons.' The Hebrew gallim (גַּלִּים, heaps, ruins) describes rubble piles; tannim (תַּנִּים, jackals, wild dogs) indicates desolate ruins inhabited only by scavengers. 'And I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant' uses shemamah (שְׁמָמָה, desolation, waste) and ein yoshev (אֵין יוֹשֵׁב, without inhabitant). The judgment extends beyond Jerusalem to all Judah's urban centers. This verse repeats Jeremiah 4:7 and 10:22, emphasizing the theme of urban devastation throughout the book.
