Isaiah 23:13

Look at the land of the Chaldeans—a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Behold, the land of the Chaldeans. This people was not. The Assyrians founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They overthrew its palaces. They made it a ruin.
World English Bible (WEB)
Behold the land{H776} of the Chaldeans{H3778}; this people{H5971} was not, till the Assyrian{H804} founded{H3245}{(H8804)} it for them that dwell in the wilderness{H6728}: they set up{H6965}{(H8689)} the towers{H971} thereof, they raised up{H6209}{(H8782)} the palaces{H759} thereof; and he brought{H7760}{(H8804)} it to ruin{H4654}.
