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.
19And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beautiful town which is the pride of the Chaldaeans, will be like God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
20People will never be living in it again, and it will have no more men from generation to generation: the Arab will not put up his tent there; and those who keep sheep will not make it a resting-place for their flocks.
