Albert Barnes Commentary Jeremiah 51:43

"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." — Jeremiah 51:43 (ASV)

A wilderness – Or, a desert of sand.

A land in which – Rather, “a land – no man shall dwell in them (i.e., its cities), and no human being shall pass through them.”
