Isaiah 14:21-23

International Children’s Bible

²¹ Prepare to kill his children.
    Kill them because their father is guilty.
They will never again take control of the earth.
    They will never again fill the world with their cities.

²² The Lord of heaven’s armies says this:
    “I will fight against those people.
I will destroy Babylon and its people.
    I will destroy its people and their descendants,” says the Lord.
²³ “I will make Babylon fit only for owls.
    It will become a swamp.
I will sweep Babylon as with a broom of destruction,”
    says the Lord of heaven’s armies.
