15Whoever is caught will be stabbed,
and whoever is captured will die by the sword.
16Their infants will be dashed to pieces
before their eyes,
their houses will be looted,
and their wives will be ravished.
17Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes,
who have no regard for silver
and no desire for gold.
18Their bows will dash young men to pieces;
they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb;
they will not look with pity on the children.
19And Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms,
the glory of the pride of the Chaldeans,
will be overthrown by God
like Sodom and Gomorrah.
— Isaiah 13:15-19
