36 A sword against the diviners.[a]
    They’ll be made fools.
A sword against her warriors.
    They’ll be shattered.
37 A sword against her horses, against her chariots,[b]
    and against all the foreign troops[c] in her midst.
They’ll become women.
    A sword against her treasures.
    They’ll be plundered.
38 A drought against her waters.
    They’ll dry up.
For it’s a land of idols,
    and they go mad over their terrifying images.
