Isaiah 13:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ Babylon is the glory of kingdoms,
the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride,
but it will be just like the day when God overthrew
    Sodom and Gomorrah.
²⁰ It will never be inhabited again,
nor will anyone live in it from generation to generation.
No Arab^[a] will pitch his tent there.
No shepherd will rest his flocks there.
²¹ Instead, wild animals from the desert will rest there.
The houses will be full of wild dogs.^[b]
Ostriches will nest there,
and wild goats will frolic.
