16Their children also shalbe dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses shalbe spoiled, & their wiues rauished. 17Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regard siluer, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. 18Their bowes also shall dash the yong men to pieces, and they shall haue no pitie on the fruit of the wombe; their eye shall not spare children. 19¶ And Babylon the glory of kingdomes, the beautie of the Chaldees excellencie, shall be as when God ouerthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. 20It shall neuer be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there, neither shal the shepheards make their fold there.
