Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise up, and possess the land, and fill the face of the world with cities—the judgment extended to the Babylon king's offspring, suggesting that the dynasty will be eliminated to prevent future dynasties from arising. The prevention of the seed from inheriting the land and building cities indicates a permanent end to Babylonian imperial aspirations. This verse indicates that dynastic judgment is part of God's comprehensive response.
