In Jewish tradition

It means to plead with God or a ruler on behalf of others. In Isaiah, God says that no one will plead for Babylon.

Interpretation. Tradition sees prophets such as Abraham and Moses as people who interceded for others, and so this verse shows how severe Babylon's punishment is.

Examples
