Isaias

15. Everyone that is found shall be thrust through, and every- one that is taken shall fall by the sword.

16 And their infants shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

18 And bows shall dash youths in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not have mercy on children.

19 And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, the glory of the pride of the Chaldees, shall be as ’s overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah.

20 It shall not inhabited for ever, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation; neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there, neither shall shepherds make (flocks) to lie down dwarf. But desert creatures shall lie there; and their houses shall groaners fill; and ostriches shall dwell there; and shaggy beasts shall dance there.
