Jeremiah 50:35-40
English Standard Version
35 “A sword against the Chaldeans, declares the Lord,
and against the inhabitants of Babylon,
and against (A)her officials and her (B)wise men!
36 A sword against the diviners,
that they may become fools!
A sword against her (C)warriors,
that they may be destroyed!
37 A sword against her horses and against her chariots,
and against all (D)the foreign troops in her midst,
that (E)they may become women!
(F)A sword against all her treasures,
that they may be plundered!
38 (G)A drought against her waters,
that they may be dried up!
(H)For it is a land of images,
and they are mad over idols.
39 (I)“Therefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon,[a] and ostriches shall dwell in her. She shall never again have people, nor be inhabited for all generations. 40 (J)As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring cities, declares the Lord, (K)so no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn in her.

Jeremiah 50:35-40
New Living Translation
35 “The sword of destruction will strike the Babylonians,”
says the Lord.
“It will strike the people of Babylon—
her officials and wise men, too.
36 The sword will strike her wise counselors,
and they will become fools.
The sword will strike her mightiest warriors,
and panic will seize them.
37 The sword will strike her horses and chariots
and her allies from other lands,
and they will all become like women.
The sword will strike her treasures,
and they all will be plundered.
38 A drought[a] will strike her water supply,
causing it to dry up.
And why? Because the whole land is filled with idols,
and the people are madly in love with them.
39 “Soon Babylon will be inhabited by desert animals and hyenas.
It will be a home for owls.
Never again will people live there;
it will lie desolate forever.
40 I will destroy it as I[b] destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
and their neighboring towns,” says the Lord.
“No one will live there;
no one will inhabit it.
