International Standard Version
Isaiah 13:18-20
International Standard Version
18 Their bows will dash the young men to pieces;
they’ll show no pity on those not yet born,[a]
and[b] their eyes will not spare children.
19 Babylon, that jewel of kingdoms,
the splendor and pride of the Chaldeans,
will be like Sodom and Gomorrah,
when God overthrew them—
20 It will never be inhabited
or lived in through all generations;
no Bedouin[c] will pitch his tent there;
no shepherds will make their flocks lie down there.
