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—the promise that Babylon will remain perpetually desolate, uninhabited and uninhabitable, with even the Bedouin avoiding the ruins. The specific mention of those who might otherwise inhabit the ruins emphasizes the totality of the desolation. This verse indicates that Babylon's destruction is permanent and irreversible.
