Jeremiah 50:37-39
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
37 A sword upon their motley throng,
and they become women!
A sword upon their treasures,
and they are plundered;(A)
38 A drought upon the waters,
and they dry up!
For it is a land of idols,
soon made frantic by phantoms.(B)
39 Hence, wildcats shall dwell there with hyenas,
and ostriches occupy it;
Never again shall it be inhabited or settled,
from age to age.(C)
