Jeremiah 50:38

A Message Concerning Babylon

³⁷ A sword is on all the mixed people in her, and they will become like women: a sword is on her store-houses, and they will be taken by her attackers. ³⁸ A sword is on her waters, drying them up; for it is a land of images, and their minds are fixed on false gods. ³⁹ For this reason the beasts of the waste land with the wolves will make their holes there and the ostriches will be living in it: never again will men be living there, it will be unpeopled from generation to generation.
