Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

The verse 13 is found in chapter 50 of Jeremiah. Babylon, the instrument previously used to discipline Judah, now receives a lengthy oracle of judgment. Israel and Judah will be sought and will return together to Zion, while Babylon’s sins lead to its downfall. The reversal is central: the empire that appeared permanent becomes an object of judgment.

Denn vor dem Zorn des HERRN muß sie unbewohnt und ganz wüst bleiben, daß alle, so bei Babel vorübergehen, werden sich verwundern und pfeifen über all ihr Plage.
Por la ira de Jehová no será habitada, sino que asolada será toda ella; todo hombre que pasare por Babilonia se asombrará, y silbará sobre todas sus plagas.
A causa de la indignación de Jehová, no será habitada y quedará enteramente desolada. Todo el que pase por Babilonia quedará horrorizado y silbará por todas sus heridas.
A cause de la colère de l'Eternel, elle ne sera plus habitée, Elle ne sera plus qu'une solitude. Tous ceux qui passeront près de Babylone Seront dans l'étonnement et siffleront sur toutes ses plaies.
Per l’indegnazione del Signore, ella non sarà più abitata, anzi sarà tutta desolata; chiunque passerà presso di Babilonia sarà attonito, e zufolerà, per tutte le sue piaghe.
Por causa do furor do SENHOR não será habitada, antes se tornará em total assolação; qualquer que passar por Babilônia se espantará, assobiará por todas as suas pragas.
因耶和華的憤怒, 巴比倫 必無人居住, 全然荒涼, 凡經過的都要受驚駭, 又因它所遭的災殃嗤笑。
