Isaiah 13:19-21
Tree of Life Version
19 So Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
the beauty of Chaldean pride,
will be just as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It will never be inhabited,
nor will it be dwelt in
from generation to generation,
nor will an Arab pitch a tent there,
nor will shepherds let flocks lie there.
21 But desert creatures will lie there.
Their houses will be full of owls.
Ostriches will dwell there,
and goat-demons will dance[a] there.

Isaiah 13:19-21
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.
