I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts—the transformation of Babylon into a desolate swamp inhabited by wild birds, with God actively sweeping it clean of inhabitants. The image of sweeping with destruction reinforces the thoroughness of the judgment. This verse paints the ultimate fate of Babylon in terms of complete desolation.
