Isaiah 13:20-22

20 ^aIt will never be inhabited
or lived in for all generations;
no ^bArab will pitch his tent there;
no ^cshepherds will make their flocks lie down there.
21 But ^dwild animals will lie down there,
and their houses will be full of howling creatures;
there ^eostriches ^{▼▼Or owls} will dwell,
and there wild goats will dance.
22 Hyenas ^{▼▼Or foxes} will cry in its towers,
and ^hjackals in ⁱthe pleasant palaces;
its time is close at hand
and its days will not be prolonged.
