Yesaya 23:13

23:13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans,

these people who have lost their identity! ¹ 

The Assyrians have made it a home for wild animals.

They erected their siege towers, ² 

demolished ³  its fortresses,

and turned it into a heap of ruins. ⁴ 

Yesaya 63:14

63:14 Like an animal that goes down into a valley to graze, ⁵ 

so the Spirit of the Lord granted them rest.

In this way ⁶  you guided your people,

gaining for yourself an honored reputation. ⁷
