A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.

The verse 38 is found in chapter 50 of Jeremiah. The Redeemer of Israel defends his people’s cause and Babylon loses its security. The sound of its fall reaches the nations and causes international upheaval. The section combines justice for the oppressed with judgment against the oppressor, completing the reversal begun in the earlier oracles against Babylon.

Trockenheit soll kommen über ihre Wasser, daß sie versiegen! denn es ist ein Götzenland, und sie trotzen auf ihre schrecklichen Götzen.
Sequedad sobre sus aguas, y secaranse: porque tierra es de esculturas, y en ídolos enloquecen.
¡Sequía sobre sus aguas, que se secarán! Porque es una tierra de imágenes talladas, y enloquecen por sus ídolos terroríficos.
La sécheresse contre ses eaux! qu'elles tarissent! Car c'est un pays d'idoles; Ils sont fous de leurs idoles.
Disseccamento soprasta alle sue acque, e saranno asciutte, perciocchè ella è un paese di sculture, ed essi sono insensati intorno agl’idoli.
Cairá a seca sobre as suas águas, e secarão; porque é uma terra de imagens esculpidas, e pelos seus ídolos andam enfurecidos.
有乾旱 臨到它的眾水, 它們就必乾涸; 因為這是雕刻偶像之地, 人因偶像顛狂 。
