     * hear.
     # 51:10,11; Ps 33:10,11; Isa 14:24-27; 46:10,11; Ac 4:28; Eph 1:11|
     # Re 17:16,17|
     * the least.
     # 37:10; 49:20|
     * surely he.
       We have already adverted to the completion of the prophecies
       respecting the final destruction of Babylon, (on Isa 13:18,)
       and shall only add a few more observations, in order to shew
       more clearly the full accomplishment of some of these
       predictions.  Strabo says that in his time (about the
       Christian era) a great part of it was a desert.  Jerome says
       that in his time (cir. A.D. 340) it was quite in ruins, the
       walls merely serving for an inclosure for wild beasts, for the
       hunting of the kings of Parthia:  and modern travellers
       universally concur in describing it in a state of utter
       desolation, and the habitation of wild beasts and noxious
       reptiles.
