Isaiah 13:19-21

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
    the splendor and pride of the Chalde′ans,
will be like Sodom and Gomor′rah
    when God overthrew them.
²⁰ It will never be inhabited
    or dwelt in for all generations;
no Arab will pitch his tent there,
    no shepherds will make their flocks lie down there.
²¹ But wild beasts will lie down there,
    and its houses will be full of howling creatures;
there ostriches will dwell,
    and there satyrs will dance.
