Isaiah 13:20 in Context — Isaiah 13

18 E [com seus] arcos despedaçarão aos rapazes, e não terão piedade do fruto do ventre; o olho deles não terá compaixão das crianças.

19 Assim será Babilônia, a joia dos reinos, a beleza e o orgulho dos caldeus, semelhante a Sodoma e Gomorra, quando Deus [as] arruinou.

20 Nunca mais será habitada, nem [nela] se morará, de geração em geração; nem o árabe armará ali sua tenda, nem os pastores farão descansar ali [seus] rebanhos.

21 Mas os animais selvagens do deserto ali descansarão, e suas casas se encherão de animais medonhos; e ali habitarão corujas, e bodes selvagens saltarão ali.

22 E as hienas uivarão em suas fortalezas, e chacais em seus confortáveis palácios. Pois está chegando bem perto o seu tempo, e os dias dela não se prolongarão.
