43 Her towns will be desolate,

a dry and desert land,

a land where no one lives,

through which no one travels.

43 Her cities are a desolation, A dry land, and a wilderness, A land wherein no man dwelleth, Neither doth any son of man pass thereby.

43 Her cities now lie in ruins;

she is a dry wasteland

where no one lives or even passes by.

43 Her cities are a desolation,

A dry land and a wilderness,

A land where no one dwells,

Through which no son of man passes.

43 Babylon’s towns are ruined and empty.

It has become a dry, desert land,

a land where no one lives.

People do not even travel through Babylon.

43 Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.

43 Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no one dwelleth, neither doth a son of man pass thereby.

43 Its cities will be ruined. 

It will become a desert, a land where no one lives 

and where no human travels. 

43 Her cities have become a desolation,

a dry and arid land,

a land where no one lives,

where no human being passes through.

43 Her cities have become an object of horror,

a land of drought and a desert,

a land in which no one lives,

and through which no mortal passes.

43 Her cities have become as an object of horror,

a dry land and a wilderness,

a land in which no person lives,

nor does a son of humankind pass through it.

43 The towns of Babylonia will be empty.

It will become a dry and desert land.

No one will live there.

No one will even travel through it.

43 “Her cities have become an object of horror,

A parched land and a desert,

A land in which no man lives

And through which no son of man passes.
