Jeremiah 50:38-40

Common English Bible

³⁸ A sword^[a] against the water supplies
    so that they dry up.
It is truly the land of idols,
    idols about which they have gone utterly mad!
³⁹ Therefore, Babylon will become a ghost town,
    a place for desert animals,
        hyenas, and ravenous birds.^[b]
No one will live there again;
    no one will make it their home.
⁴⁰ Just as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors,
        declares the Lord,
    so no one will live in Babylon
        or settle there again.
