Selected verse

A sword is on the boasters,

and they will become fools.

A sword is on her mighty men,

and they will be dismayed.

37

A sword is on their horses,

on their chariots,

and on all the mixed people who are in the middle of her;

and they will become as women.

A sword is on her treasures,

and they will be robbed.

38

A drought is on her waters,

and they will be dried up;

for it is a land of engraved images,

and they are mad over idols.

39

Therefore the wild animals of the desert

with the wolves will dwell there.

The ostriches will dwell therein.

It will be inhabited no more forever,

neither will it be lived in from generation to generation.
