38 (D)A drought against her waters,
    that they may be dried up!
(E)For it is a land of images,
    and they are mad over idols.

39 (F)“Therefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon,[a] and ostriches shall dwell in her. She shall never again have people, nor be inhabited for all generations.
