Isaiah 13:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ Babylon, that jewel of kingdoms,
    the splendor and pride of the Chaldeans,
will be like Sodom and Gomorrah,
    when God overthrew them—
²⁰ It will never be inhabited
    or lived in through all generations;
no Bedouin^[a] will pitch his tent there;
    no shepherds will make their flocks lie down there.
²¹ But desert beasts will lie down there,
    and their houses will be full of howling creatures;
there owls^[b] will dwell,
    and goat-demons^[c] will dance there.
