Isaiah 13:17-22

17 Behold, aI am stirring up the Medes against them,
who have no regard for silver
and do not delight in gold.
18 bTheir bows will slaughter
Hebrew dash in pieces
the young men;
they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb;
their eyes will not pity children.
19And Babylon, dthe glory of kingdoms,
the splendor and pomp of the Chaldeans,
will be elike Sodom and Gomorrah
when God overthrew them.
20 fIt will never be inhabited
or lived in for all generations;
no gArab will pitch his tent there;
no hshepherds will make their flocks lie down there.
21But iwild animals will lie down there,
and their houses will be full of howling creatures;
there jostriches
Or owls
will dwell,
and there wild goats will dance.
22Hyenas
Or foxes
will cry in its towers,
and mjackals in nthe pleasant palaces;
its time is close at hand
and its days will not be prolonged.
