Isaiah 13:20-22
English Standard Version
20 (A)It will never be inhabited
or lived in for all generations;
no (B)Arab will pitch his tent there;
no (C)shepherds will make their flocks lie down there.
21 But (D)wild animals will lie down there,
and their houses will be full of howling creatures;
there (E)ostriches[a] will dwell,
and there wild goats will dance.
22 Hyenas[b] will cry in its towers,
and (F)jackals in (G)the pleasant palaces;
its time is close at hand
and its days will not be prolonged.

Isaiah 13:20-22
King James Version
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.
