ירמיהו, פרק נ״א, פסוק ס״ב

A solemn declaration serves as a direct prayer to God, asking Him to bring about the final destiny planned for Babylon. Because the prophet Jeremiah delivered these messages directly from God, the appeal is for God to actively fulfill His own word and promise [מצודת דוד].

The core of this divine promise is a fate of absolute destruction for the Babylonian empire [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. This devastation will be so complete that the land will be entirely emptied of all its inhabitants, leaving behind neither human beings nor animals [מצודת דוד]. Ultimately, the region is destined to be transformed into a permanent, eternal wasteland [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
