Exegesis

The construct chain midbār ʿārîm lōʾ nōšāḇû {מִדְבָּר עָרִים לֹא נוֹשָׁבוּ | midbār ʿārîm lōʾ nōšāḇû} uses a Niphal perfect for an enduring state of desolation. The English maintains Hebrew parallelism and a judicial tone.

In context — Jeremiah 22:6

For thus says the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah: "You are to Me like Gilead, the summit of Lebanon; yet I will make you a wilderness, cities not inhabited."
