Isaiah 13:20-22

The Voice

²⁰ It’ll never be inhabited again, and future generations will never call it home;
    there Arab nomads won’t pitch their tents; shepherds won’t rest their flocks.
²¹ Only desert animals will occupy the deserted city;
    owls will nest in their formerly swept-clean houses.
Mangy jackals and wild goats will roam among the rubble
    and romp among the ruins.
²² Hyenas will prowl around and howl among its towers;
    jackals will haunt its formerly palatial palaces;
Babylon’s time of destruction is coming; her days are numbered.
