37 A sword against [a]their (A)horses, against [b]their chariots,
And against all the [c](B)foreigners who are in the midst of her,
And they will become (C)women!
A sword against her treasures, and they will be plundered!
38 A [d](D)drought on her waters, and they will be dried up!
For it is a land of (E)idols,
And they go insane at frightful images.

39 “Therefore the (F)desert creatures will live there with the jackals;
The ostriches also will live in it.
It will (G)never again be inhabited
Nor lived in from generation to generation.
