Jeremiah 50:35-40
Christian Standard Bible
35 A sword is over the Chaldeans—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
against those who live in Babylon,
against her officials, and against her sages.
36 A sword is against the diviners,
and they will act foolishly.
A sword is against her heroic warriors,
and they will be terrified.
37 A sword is against his horses and chariots
and against all the foreigners among them,(A)
and they will be like women.(B)
A sword is against her treasuries,
and they will be plundered.
38 A drought will come on her waters,
and they will be dried up.
For it is a land of carved images,
and they go mad because of terrifying things.[a](C)
39 Therefore, desert creatures[b] will live with hyenas,
and ostriches will also live in her.
It will never again be inhabited
or lived in through all generations.(D)
40 Just as God demolished Sodom and Gomorrah
and their neighboring towns(E)—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
so no one will live there;
no human being will stay in it even temporarily
as a temporary resident.(F)

A sword against her warriors!(D)

They will dry(J) up.
For it is a land of idols,(K)

and there the owl will dwell.
It will never again be inhabited
or lived in from generation to generation.(M)

“so no one will live there;
no people will dwell in it.(O)
