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 are mad over fearsome idols.

39 “Therefore the (F)desert creatures will live there along with the jackals;
The ostriches also will live in it,
And it will (G)never again be inhabited
Or dwelt in from generation to generation.
