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)

35 A (A)sword against the Chaldeans,” declares the Lord,
“And against the inhabitants of Babylon
And against her (B)leaders and her (C)wise men!
36 A sword against the (D)oracle priests, and they will become fools!
A sword against her (E)warriors, and they will be [a](F)shattered!
37 A sword against [b]their (G)horses, against [c]their chariots,

And they will become (I)women!
A sword against her treasures, and they will be plundered!
38 A [e](J)drought on her waters, and they will be dried up!
For it is a land of (K)idols,
And they go insane at frightful images.
39 “Therefore the (L)desert creatures will live there with the jackals;
The ostriches also will live in it.
It will (M)never again be inhabited
Nor lived in from generation to generation.
40 As when God overthrew (N)Sodom
And Gomorrah with its neighbors,” declares the Lord,
“No one will live there,
Nor will [f]anyone of mankind reside in it.
