Isaiah 13:16-18
Contemporary English Version

16 They will see their children
    beaten against rocks,
their homes robbed,
    and their wives abused.

17 The Medes[a] can't be bought off
    with silver or gold,
and I'm sending them
    to attack Babylonia.
18 Their arrows will slaughter
    the young men;
no pity will be shown
    to babies and children.
