14 And this shall happen: like a hunted gazelle or sheep with none to gather them, they will each turn to his own people, and they will each flee to his own land.
15 Everyone who is found will be pierced through, and everyone who is carried away will fall by the sword.
16 And their children will be dashed into pieces before their eyes; their houses will be plundered, and their wives will be raped.
17 Look! I am stirring the Medes up against them, who do not value silver and do not delight in gold.
18 And their bows will shatter young men. And they will not show mercy on the fruit of the womb; their eyes will not look compassionately on children.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the splendor of the Chaldeans’ pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It will not be inhabited forever, and it will not be dwelled in forever; and no Arab will pitch a tent there, and shepherds will not allow their flocks to lie down there.
