Isaiah 13:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ And Babylon, the most glorious of kingdoms,
    the splendor and jewel of the Chaldeans,
will be like Sodom and Gomorrah
    when they were overthrown by God.
²⁰ It will never be inhabited;
    no future generations will ever reside there.
No Arab will ever again pitch his tent there,
    nor will shepherds rest their flocks in that land.
²¹ However, wild animals of the desert will dwell there,
    and its houses will be filled with jackals.
There ostriches will reside,
    and there wild goats^[a] will dance.
