38A drought is upon her waters,
and they will be dried up.
For it is a land of graven images,
and the people go mad over idols.
39So the desert creatures and hyenas will live there
and ostriches will dwell there.
It will never again be inhabited
or lived in from generation to generation.
40As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah
along with their neighbors,” declares the LORD,
“no one will dwell there;
no man will abide there.
— Jeremiah 50:38-40
