King James Version

15

Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

16

Their children also 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

Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.

19

And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

20

It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

21

But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

22

And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
