14
Like a hunted gazelle,
like sheep without a shepherd,
each will return to his own people,
each will flee to his native land.
15
Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
all who are caught will fall by the sword.
16
Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
their houses will be looted and their wives ravished.
17
See, I will stir up against them the Medes,
who do not care for silver
and have no delight in gold.
18
Their bows will strike down the young men;
they will have no mercy on infants
nor will they look with compassion on children.
