Isaiah 13:17-22
New International Version
Isaiah 13:17-22
New International Version
17 See, I will stir up(A) against them the Medes,(B)
who do not care for silver
and have no delight in gold.(C)
18 Their bows(D) will strike down the young men;(E)
they will have no mercy(F) on infants,
nor will they look with compassion on children.(G)
19 Babylon,(H) the jewel of kingdoms,(I)
the pride and glory(J) of the Babylonians,[a]
will be overthrown(K) by God
like Sodom and Gomorrah.(L)
20 She will never be inhabited(M)
or lived in through all generations;
there no nomads(N) will pitch their tents,
there no shepherds will rest their flocks.
21 But desert creatures(O) will lie there,
jackals(P) will fill her houses;
there the owls(Q) will dwell,
and there the wild goats(R) will leap about.
22 Hyenas(S) will inhabit her strongholds,(T)
jackals(U) her luxurious palaces.
Her time is at hand,(V)
and her days will not be prolonged.(W)

King James Version
Isaiah 13:17-22
King James Version
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
