36 A sword against her false prophets!
    They will become fools.
A sword against her warriors!(D)
    They will be filled with terror.(E)
37 A sword against her horses and chariots(F)
    and all the foreigners in her ranks!
    They will become weaklings.(G)
A sword against her treasures!(H)
    They will be plundered.

35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.

36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

37 A sword is upon their horses, 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.

38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.
