Isaiah 13:17-22

View Full Chapter

17See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold.

18Their bows will strike down the young men; they will have no mercy on infants, nor will they look with compassion on children.

19Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the pride and glory of the Babylonians, Or Chaldeans will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.

20She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations; there no nomads will pitch their tents, there no shepherds will rest their flocks.

21But desert creatures will lie there, jackals will fill her houses; there the owls will dwell, and there the wild goats will leap about. 22Hyenas will inhabit her strongholds, jackals her luxurious palaces. Her time is at hand, and her days will not be prolonged.
