37 Let a sword kill her horses and chariots
    and all the soldiers hired from other countries!
    Then they will be like frightened women.
Let a sword attack her treasures,
    so they will be taken away.
38 Let a sword attack her waters
    so they will be dried up.
She is a land of idols,
    and the people go crazy with fear over them.

    and owls will live there,
but no people will ever live there again.
    She will never be filled with people again.
