   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.
