Haydock's commentary
Dust, like a suppliant, Isaias xlvii. 1. (Calmet)
Dry. The country shall be equally unfruitful. The waters of the Euphrates being let off, gave a passage to the enemy, ver. 9. (Haydock)
Babylon soon lost its splendour. (Calmet)
Vologeses completed its ruin. (Pliny, [Natural History?] vi. 26.)
It ceased to be the metropolis or mother city. (Haydock)
The whole country was laid waste. (Worthington)
