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)
