Jeremiah

³⁵A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men. ³⁶A sword is upon the boasters, and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed. ³⁷A sword is upon their horse, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed. ³⁸A drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up: for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad upon idols. ³⁹Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. ⁴⁰As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein. ⁴¹Behold, a people cometh from the north; and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
