Isaiah 13:19-22
New International Version
Isaiah 13:19-22
New International Version
19 Babylon,(A) the jewel of kingdoms,(B)
the pride and glory(C) of the Babylonians,[a]
will be overthrown(D) by God
like Sodom and Gomorrah.(E)
20 She will never be inhabited(F)
or lived in through all generations;
there no nomads(G) will pitch their tents,
there no shepherds will rest their flocks.
21 But desert creatures(H) will lie there,
jackals(I) will fill her houses;
there the owls(J) will dwell,
and there the wild goats(K) will leap about.
22 Hyenas(L) will inhabit her strongholds,(M)
jackals(N) her luxurious palaces.
Her time is at hand,(O)
and her days will not be prolonged.(P)

King James Version
Isaiah 13:19-22
King James Version
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
