19 And it will be that (A)Babylon, the (B)beauty of kingdoms, the [a]honor of the Chaldeans’ pride,
Will be as when God (C)overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It will (D)never be inhabited or dwelt in from generation to generation;
Nor will the [b](E)Arab pitch his tent there,
Nor will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.

And their houses will be full of [c]owls;
Ostriches also will dwell there, and [d]shaggy goats will leap there.
