Jeremiah 50:38-40
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
38 A drought upon the waters,
and they dry up!
For it is a land of idols,
soon made frantic by phantoms.(A)
39 Hence, wildcats shall dwell there with hyenas,
and ostriches occupy it;
Never again shall it be inhabited or settled,
from age to age.(B)
40 As happened when God overturned Sodom
and Gomorrah and their neighbors—oracle of the Lord—
No one shall dwell there,
no mortal shall settle there.(C)
