15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
    all who are caught will fall(A) by the sword.(B)
16 Their infants(C) will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
    their houses will be looted and their wives violated.(D)

17 See, I will stir up(E) against them the Medes,(F)
    who do not care for silver
    and have no delight in gold.(G)
18 Their bows(H) will strike down the young men;(I)
    they will have no mercy(J) on infants,
    nor will they look with compassion on children.(K)
19 Babylon,(L) the jewel of kingdoms,(M)
    the pride and glory(N) of the Babylonians,[a]
will be overthrown(O) by God
    like Sodom and Gomorrah.(P)
