38 A drought on her waters!

They will dry up.

For it is a land of idols,

idols that will go mad with terror.

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.

38 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.

38 A drought will strike her water supply,

causing it to dry up.

And why? Because the whole land is filled with idols,

and the people are madly in love with them.

38 A drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up.

For it is the land of carved images,

And they are insane with their idols.

38 Let a sword attack her waters

so they will be dried up.

She is a land of idols,

and the people go crazy with fear over them.

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

38 a drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad after frightful idols.

38 A drought will diminish their water supply, and it will dry up. 

Babylon is a land of idols, statues that will go crazy with fear. 

38 A 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.

38 A drought against her waters,

that they may be dried up!

For it is a land of images,

and they go mad over idols.

38 A drought will come against her waters,

and they will dry up,

for it is a land of images,

and because of the frightful objects, they act like madmen.

38 There will not be any rain for their rivers.

So they will dry up.

Those things will happen because their land is full of statues of gods.

Those gods will go crazy with terror.
