Isaiah 13:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Babylon is the most beautiful of all kingdoms.
    The Babylonians are very proud of it.
But God will destroy it
    like Sodom and Gomorrah.
²⁰ No one will ever live there.
    No one will settle there again.
No Arab will put his tent there.
    No shepherd will bring his sheep there.
²¹ Only animals from the desert will live there.
    The houses of Babylon will be full of wild dogs.
Owls will live there.
    Wild goats will leap about in the houses.
