Isaiah 13:19-21
English Standard Version
19 And Babylon, (A)the glory of kingdoms,
the splendor and pomp of the Chaldeans,
will be (B)like Sodom and Gomorrah
when God overthrew them.
20 (C)It will never be inhabited
or lived in for all generations;
no (D)Arab will pitch his tent there;
no (E)shepherds will make their flocks lie down there.
21 But (F)wild animals will lie down there,
and their houses will be full of howling creatures;
there (G)ostriches[a] will dwell,
and there wild goats will dance.

the pride and glory(C) of the Babylonians,[a]
will be overthrown(D) by God
like Sodom and Gomorrah.(E)
