Jeremiah 50:38-41
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 50
38A drought on her waters, and they will be dried up! For it is a land of idols, And they go insane at frightful images. 39'Therefore the desert creatures will live there with the jackals; The ostriches also will live in it. It will never again be inhabited Nor lived in from generation to generation. 40As when God overthrew Sodom And Gomorrah with its neighbors,' declares the Lord, 'No one will live there, Nor will anyone of mankind reside in it. 41'Behold, a people is coming from the north, And a great nation and many kings Will be roused from the remote parts of the earth.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 50
38A drought will come on her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is a land of carved images, and they go mad because of terrifying things. 39Therefore, desert creatures will live with hyenas, and ostriches will also live in her. It will never again be inhabited or lived in through all generations.
40Just as God demolished Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns — this is the Lord’s declaration— so no one will live there; no human being will stay in it even temporarily as a temporary resident.
41Look! A people comes from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the remote regions of the earth.
New Living Translation
39'Soon Babylon will be inhabited by desert animals and hyenas. It will be a home for owls. Never again will people live there; it will lie desolate forever.
40I will destroy it as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns,' says the Lord. 'No one will live there; no one will inhabit it.

38 A drought against her waters, that they may be dried up! For it is a land of images, and they are mad over idols. 39"Therefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon, and ostriches shall dwell in her. She shall never again have people, nor be inhabited for all generations. 40As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring cities, declares the Lord, so no man shall dwell there, and no son of man shall sojourn in her.New International Version
