15. Every one who is found is thrust through, And every one who is added falleth by sword.
16. And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Spoiled are their houses, and their wives lain with.
17. Lo, I am stirring up against them the Medes, Who silver esteem not, And gold--they delight not in it.
18. And bows dash young men to pieces, And the fruit of the womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity.
19. And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellency of the Chaldeans, Hath been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
