Jeremiah 50:38-40

Revised Standard Version

³⁸A drought upon her waters,
that they may be dried up!
For it is a land of images,
and they are mad over idols.

³⁹“Therefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon, and ostriches shall dwell in her; she shall be peopled no more for ever, nor inhabited for all generations. ⁴⁰As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomor′rah and their neighbor cities, says the Lord, so no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn in her.
