Isaiah 13:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
    the beauty of the Chaldean’s excellency,
shall be as when God overthrew
    Sodom and Gomorrah.
²⁰ It shall never be inhabited,
    nor shall it be lived in from generation to generation,
nor shall the Arabian pitch a tent there,
    nor shall the shepherds make their fold there.
²¹ But wild beasts of the desert shall lie down there,
    and their houses shall be full of owls,
ostriches also shall dwell there,
    and shaggy goats shall dance there.
