    and against all (A)the foreign troops in her midst,
    that (B)they may become women!
(C)A sword against all her treasures,
    that they may be plundered!
38 (D)A drought against her waters,
    that they may be dried up!
(E)For it is a land of images,
    and they are mad over idols.

39 (F)“Therefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon,[a] and ostriches shall dwell in her. She shall never again have people, nor be inhabited for all generations.
