Isaiah 13:18-20

Revised Standard Version

¹⁸ Their bows will slaughter the young men;
    they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb;
    their eyes will not pity children.
¹⁹ And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
    the splendor and pride of the Chalde′ans,
will be like Sodom and Gomor′rah
    when God overthrew them.
²⁰ It will never be inhabited
    or dwelt in for all generations;
no Arab will pitch his tent there,
    no shepherds will make their flocks lie down there.
