One skeptic states: "Jerusalem has never been a den of dragons and Judah has never been uninhabited. Neither has ever been a ruinous heap."
> I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; I will make the cities of Judah desolate without an inhabitant. (Jeremiah 9:11)

Jerusalem was, in fact, completely destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C. He left a remnant in Judah, which made the mistake of rebelling in 581 B.C., leading to the rest of them being carted off to Babylon. These historical facts are well documented. As for the "dragons," this is another issue of relying on the archaic language of the King James Version; modern translations correctly render the Hebrew word as "jackals."
