12I will make men so small in number, that a man will be harder to get than gold, even the best gold of Ophir.
13For this cause the heavens will be shaking, and the earth will be moved out of its place, in the wrath of the Lord of armies, and in the day of his burning passion.
14And it will be that, like a roe in flight, and like wandering sheep, they will go every man to his people and to his land.
15Everyone who is overtaken will have a spear put through him, and everyone who goes in flight will be put to the sword.
16Their young children will be broken up before their eyes; their goods will be taken away, and their wives made the property of others.
17See, I am driving the Medes against them, who put no value on silver and have no pleasure in gold.
18In their hands are bows and spears; they are cruel, violently putting the young men to death, and crushing the young women; they have no pity for children, and no mercy for the fruit of the body.
