Isaiah 13:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ Babylon is the most beautiful of all kingdoms,
    and the Babylonians are very proud of it.
But God will destroy it
    like Sodom and Gomorrah.
²⁰ No one will ever live there
    or settle there again.
No Arab will put a tent there;
    no shepherd will bring sheep there.
²¹ Only desert animals will live there,
    and their houses will be full of wild dogs.
Owls will live there,
    and wild goats will leap about in the houses.
