Jeremiah 50:37-39

Living Bible

³⁷ War shall devour her horses and chariots, and her allies from other lands shall become as weak as women. Her treasures shall all be robbed; ³⁸ even her water supply will fail. And why? Because the whole land is full of images, and the people are madly in love with their idols.

³⁹ Therefore this city of Babylon shall become inhabited by ostriches and jackals; it shall be a home for the wild animals of the desert. Never again shall it be lived in by human beings; it shall lie desolate forever.
