“And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.”
The desolation made clear: 'I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; and I will lay waste the towns of Judah so no one can live there.' This verse explicitly announces the destruction of Jerusalem and Judah's towns: Jerusalem will become 'a heap of ruins,' a 'haunt of jackals' (inhabited only by scavengers). The phrase 'so no one can live there' emphasizes the completeness of the devastation. Theologically, this verse provides concrete specification of the judgment: the capital and all towns will be destroyed.
