Isaiah 13:20-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁰ It will never be inhabited again,
and no one will live in it for generations.
Arabs won’t pitch their tents there.
Shepherds won’t let their flocks rest there.
²¹ Desert animals will lie down there.
Their homes will be full of owls.
Ostriches will live there,
and wild goats will skip about.
²² Hyenas will howl in Babylon’s strongholds,
and jackals will howl in its luxurious palaces.
