37 A sword against her horses and her chariots
    and all the foreign troops in her midst;
    they will become like women.
A sword against her treasures;
    they will be plundered.
38 A drought against her waters;
    they will be dried up.
For it is a land of idols,
    and they will be overcome with terror
    when confronted by them.
39 Therefore, wildcats and jackals will dwell there,
    and there ostriches will make their home.
Never again will it be inhabited;
    no people ever again will dwell there.
