Isaiah 13:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ Their soldiers will shoot the young men with arrows;
    they will show no mercy on children,
    nor will they feel sorry for little ones.
¹⁹ Babylon is the most beautiful of all kingdoms,
    and the Babylonians are very proud of it.
But God will destroy it
    like Sodom and Gomorrah.
²⁰ No one will ever live there
    or settle there again.
No Arab will put a tent there;
    no shepherd will bring sheep there.
