a place where no one lives.

“Look, I am going to contend your case,

and I will avenge your vengeance,

and I will cause her sea to dry up,

and I will cause her fountain to dry up.

a lair of jackals,

an object of horror, and an object of hissing,

without inhabitants.

KJV 1900King James Version

Therefore thus saith the Lord;

Behold, I will plead thy cause,

And take vengeance for thee;

And I will dry up her sea,

And make her springs dry.

And Babylon shall become heaps,

A dwellingplace for dragons,

An astonishment, and an hissing,

Without an inhabitant.
