Isaiah 13:20-22
Contemporary English Version
20 No one will live in Babylon.
Even nomads won't camp nearby,
and shepherds won't let
their sheep rest there.
21 (A) Only desert creatures,
hoot owls, and ostriches
will live in its ruins,
and goats[a] will leap about.
22 Hyenas and wolves will howl
from Babylon's fortresses
and beautiful palaces.
Its time is almost up!

Isaiah 13:20-22
New International Version
20 She will never be inhabited(A)
or lived in through all generations;
there no nomads(B) will pitch their tents,
there no shepherds will rest their flocks.
21 But desert creatures(C) will lie there,
jackals(D) will fill her houses;
there the owls(E) will dwell,
and there the wild goats(F) will leap about.
22 Hyenas(G) will inhabit her strongholds,(H)
jackals(I) her luxurious palaces.
Her time is at hand,(J)
and her days will not be prolonged.(K)
