Jeremiah 50:35-40
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

35 A sword against the Chaldeans, says the Lord,
    and against the inhabitants of Babylon
    and against her officials and her sages!(A)
36 A sword against the diviners,
    so that they may become fools!
A sword against her warriors,
    so that they may be dismayed!(B)
37 A sword against her[a] horses and against her[b] chariots
    and against all the foreign troops in her midst,
    so that they may become women!
A sword against her treasures,
    that they may be plundered!(C)
38 A drought against her waters,
    that they may be dried up!
For it is a land of images,
    and they go mad over idols.(D)

39 Therefore wild animals shall live with hyenas in Babylon,[c] and ostriches shall inhabit her; she shall never again be peopled or inhabited for all generations.(E) 40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors, says the Lord, so no one shall live there, nor shall anyone settle in her.(F)
