The Fall of Babylon · Isaiah 13
Story guide: PROPHETIC DESOLATION | Babylon’s splendor is replaced by uninhabited halls and wild creatures. The ruined setting visualizes the oracle rather than claiming a dated archaeological reconstruction.
Open this scene in the reader →19And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, the glory of the Chaldeans’ pride, will be like God’s overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah.
20It will never be inhabited, and it will not be dwelt in from generation to generation; no Arab will pitch his tent there, and shepherds will not make their flocks lie down there.
21But desert creatures will lie down there, and their houses will be full of owls; ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will dance there.
22Hyenas will cry out in her palaces, and jackals in her luxurious halls. Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged.
