Isaiah 13:15-17
New English Translation

15 Everyone who is caught will be stabbed;
everyone who is seized[a] will die[b] by the sword.
16 Their children will be smashed to pieces before their very eyes;
their houses will be looted
and their wives raped.
17 Look, I am stirring up the Medes to attack them;[c]
they are not concerned about silver,
nor are they interested in gold.[d]
