The verse 19 is found in chapter 13 of Isaiah. The image of Babylon as an abandoned city carries judgment from the battlefield to complete ruin. The disappearance of its inhabitants and the presence of wild animals emphasize a radical reversal of its former greatness.

Also soll Babel, das schönste unter den Königreichen, die herrliche Pracht der Chaldäer, umgekehrt werden vor Gott wie Sodom und Gomorra,
Y Babilonia, hermosura de reinos y ornamento de la grandeza de los Caldeos, será como Sodoma y Gomorra, a las que trastornó Dios.
Babilonia, la hermosura de los reinos, el esplendor del orgullo de los caldeos, será como Sodoma y Gomorra cuando Dios las destruyó.
Et Babylone, l'ornement des royaumes, La fière parure des Chaldéens, Sera comme Sodome et Gomorrhe, que Dieu détruisit.
E Babilonia, la gloria de’ regni, la magnificenza della superbia dei Caldei, sarà sovvertita, come Iddio sovvertì Sodoma e Gomorra.
E Babilônia, o ornamento dos reinos, a glória e a soberba dos caldeus, será como Sodoma e Gomorra, quando Deus as transtornou.
