vuestra madre se avergonzará en gran manera, será humillada la que os dio a luz. He aquí, será la última de las naciones: desierto, sequedal y yermo.
Vuestra madre será en gran manera avergonzada, se avergonzará la que os engendró; he aquí la última de las naciones será un desierto, tierra seca, y páramo.
vuestra madre se avergonzó mucho, se afrentó la que os engendró; veis aquí las postrimerías de los gentiles: desierto, sequedad, y páramo.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Your mother shall be sore confounded,.... The monarchy of the Chaldeans; so the Targum and jarchi, your congregation; or rather their metropolis, their mother city, the city of Babylon; which would be confounded when taken, none of her sons being able to defend her: the same will be true of mystical Babylon, the mother of harlots, Revelation 17:5;
she that bare you shall be ashamed; which is the same as before, in different words:
behold, the hindermost of the nations [shall be] a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert; or, as the Vulgate Latin version, "she shall be the last among the nations"; she that was the head of them, signified by the head of gold in Nebuchadnezzar's image, shall now be the tail of them, and become like a dry land and desert, without inhabitants, having neither men nor cattle in it; see Jeremiah 50:3; or, as Jarchi and Kimchi, their end, "the latter end" m of the kingdom of Babylon; or what should befall that people in their last days would be, that their land should become a wilderness, the habitants being slain, and none to till it; or Babylon is called the last of the nations, because her punishment, in order of time, was last, as Gussetius n thinks;
Jeremiah 25:26.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Your mother - i. e., Babylon. Confounded ... ashamed. Or, ashamed ... blush.
Behold ... - Translate, “Behold she is the hindermost of the nations, a desert, a thirsty land, and a waste:†- the reason why Babylon is to blush. Once the head of gold Daniel 2:32, she is now the lowest of earthly powers.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 50:12. Your mother — Speaking to the Chaldeans: BABYLON, the metropolis, or mother city, shall be a wilderness, a dry land, a desert, neither fit for man nor beast.
