Isaiah 14:22-23

22 “I will rise up against them,”
says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
“I will blot out all remembrance of Babylon and destroy all her people, ^{▼▼tn Heb “I will cut off from Babylon name and remnant” (ASV, NAB, and NRSV all similar).}
including the offspring she produces,” ^{▼▼tn Heb “descendant and child.”}
says the Lord.
23 “I will turn her into a place that is overrun with wild animals ^{▼▼tn Heb “I will make her into a possession of wild animals.” It is uncertain what type of animal קִפֹּד (qippod) refers to. Some suggest a rodent (cf. NASB, NRSV “hedgehog”), others, an owl (cf, NAB, NIV, TEV).}
and covered with pools of stagnant water.
I will get rid of her, just as one sweeps away dirt with a broom,” ^{▼▼tn Heb “I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction.”}
says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
