Isaiah 13:18-20
International Children’s Bible
18 Their soldiers will shoot the young men with arrows.
The soldiers will show no mercy on the children.
They will not feel sorry for the little boys.
19 Babylon is the most beautiful of all kingdoms.
The Babylonians are very proud of it.
But God will destroy it
like Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 No one will ever live there.
No one will settle there again.
No Arab will put his tent there.
No shepherd will bring his sheep there.
Isaiah 13:18-20
New International Version
18 Their bows(A) will strike down the young men;(B)
they will have no mercy(C) on infants,
nor will they look with compassion on children.(D)
19 Babylon,(E) the jewel of kingdoms,(F)
the pride and glory(G) of the Babylonians,[a]
will be overthrown(H) by God
like Sodom and Gomorrah.(I)
20 She will never be inhabited(J)
or lived in through all generations;
there no nomads(K) will pitch their tents,
there no shepherds will rest their flocks.
