Isaiah 13:20-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
20 It will never be inhabited
or lived in from generation to generation;(A)
a nomad will not pitch his tent there,
and shepherds will not let their flocks rest there.
21 But desert creatures will lie down there,
and owls will fill the houses.
Ostriches will dwell there,
and wild goats will leap about.(B)
22 Hyenas will howl in the fortresses,
and jackals, in the luxurious palaces.
Babylon’s time is almost up;
her days are almost over.

jackals(D) will fill her houses;
there the owls(E) will dwell,
and there the wild goats(F) will leap about.

jackals(I) her luxurious palaces.
Her time is at hand,(J)
