35 A sword against the Chaldeans,”
    declares the Lord,
“and against the inhabitants of Babylon,
    against her officials and her wise men.
36 A sword against the diviners.[a]
    They’ll be made fools.
A sword against her warriors.
    They’ll be shattered.
37 A sword against her horses, against her chariots,[b]
    and against all the foreign troops[c] in her midst.
They’ll become women.
    A sword against her treasures.
    They’ll be plundered.
