³⁵ “A sword is on the Chaldeans,” says Yahweh,
    “and on the inhabitants of Babylon,
    on her princes,
    and on her wise men.
³⁶ A sword is on the boasters,
    and they will become fools.
A sword is on her mighty men,
    and they will be dismayed.
³⁷ A sword is on their horses,
    on their chariots,
    and on all the mixed people who are in the middle of her;
    and they will become as women.
A sword is on her treasures,
    and they will be robbed.
³⁸ A drought is on her waters,
    and they will be dried up;
for it is a land of engraved images,
    and they are mad over idols.
³⁹ Therefore the wild animals of the desert
    with the wolves will dwell there.
The ostriches will dwell therein;
    and it will be inhabited no more forever;
    neither will it be lived in from generation to generation.
⁴⁰ As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says Yahweh,
    “so no man will dwell there,
    neither will any son of man live therein.
