37     I will send a sword against her war horses and chariots
        and all the foreign troops fighting alongside her;
    They will all become weak like women.
        I will send a sword against her treasures;
    They will all be plundered.
38     I will send a drought against her water supplies;
        they will all dry up
    Because this is a land filled with images,
        and the people are madly devoted to their idols.

    and there the owl will dwell.
It will never again be inhabited
    or lived in from generation to generation.(H)
