And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.

The verse 37 is found in chapter 51 of Jeremiah. The comparison of Babylon with a threshing floor announces that it will be trampled and reduced. Israel may say that Babylon devoured it, but God promises to avenge its cause. Bel will be judged and the peoples will no longer go to him, showing that Babylon’s political judgment also entails the collapse of its religious system.

Und Babel soll zum Steinhaufen und zur Wohnung der Schakale werden, zum Wunder und zum Anpfeifen, daß niemand darin wohne.
Y será Babilonia para montones, morada de chacales, espanto y silbo, sin morador.
Babilonia se convertirá en montones de ruinas, en guarida de chacales, en motivo de horror y de silbidos, sin habitantes.
Babylone sera un monceau de ruines, un repaire de chacals, Un objet de désolation et de moquerie; Il n'y aura plus d'habitants.
E Babilonia sarà ridotta in monti di ruine, in ricetto di sciacalli, in istupore, e in zufolo, senza che vi abiti più alcuno.
E Babilônia se tornará em montões, morada de chacais, espanto e assobio, sem que haja quem nela habite.
巴比倫 必成為廢墟, 為野狗的住處, 令人驚駭、嗤笑, 並且無人居住。
