15. Everyone who is taken shall be run through;and everyone who is caught shall fall by the sword.
16. Their infants shall be dashed to pieces in their sight;their houses shall be plunderedand their wives ravished.
17. I am stirring up against them the Medes,who think nothing of silverand take no delight in gold.
18. With their bows they shall shatter the young men,And the fruit of the womb they shall not spare,nor shall their eye take pity on children.
