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.
         
                                
                        20 She doth not sit for ever, Nor continueth unto many  generations, Nor doth Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds lie  not down there.
         
                                
                        21 And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their  houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an  ostrich, And goats do skip there.
