And everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
Their houses will be plundered
And their wives bravished.
Who will not1 regard silver;
And as for gold, they will not delight in it.
And they will have no pity on the fruit of the womb;
Their eye will not spare children.
The beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride,
Will be as when God overthrew bSodom and Gomorrah.
Nor will it be settled from generation to generation;
Nor will the Arabian pitch tents there,
Nor will the shepherds make their sheepfolds there.
| << Isaiah 13:16 | Isaiah 13:18 >> |
