Isaiah 13:19-22

New King James Version

^19 (A)And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
The beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride,
Will be as when God overthrew ^(B)Sodom and Gomorrah.
^20 (C)It will never be inhabited,
Nor will it be settled from generation to generation;
Nor will the Arabian pitch tents there,
Nor will the shepherds make their sheepfolds there.
^21 (D)But wild beasts of the desert will lie there,
And their houses will be full of ^[a]owls;
Ostriches will dwell there,
And wild goats will caper there.
²² The hyenas will howl in their citadels,
And jackals in their pleasant palaces.
^(E)Her time is near to come,
And her days will not be prolonged.”
