35 “A sword upon the Chalde′ans, says the Lord,
    and upon the inhabitants of Babylon,
    and upon her princes and her wise men!
36 A sword upon the diviners,
    that they may become fools!
A sword upon her warriors,
    that they may be destroyed!
37 A sword upon her horses and upon her chariots,
    and upon all the foreign troops in her midst,
    that they may become women!
A sword upon all her treasures,
    that they may be plundered!
38 A drought upon her waters,
    that they may be dried up!
For it is a land of images,
    and they are mad over idols.

39 “Therefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon, and ostriches shall dwell in her; she shall be peopled no more for ever, nor inhabited for all generations. 40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomor′rah and their neighbor cities, says the Lord, so no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn in her.
