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](A)

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.(B)
40 Just as God demolished Sodom and Gomorrah
and their neighboring towns(C)
this is the Lord’s declaration—
so no one will live there;
no human being will even stay in it
as a temporary resident.(D)
