16 And, their infants, shall be dashed to the ground, before their eyes, - Plundered shall be, their houses, and their wives ravished. 17 Behold me! stirring up against them the Medes, - Who of silver, shall take no account, And as for gold, they shall not delight in it; 18 And, bows, shall dash the young to pieces, - And on the fruit of the womb, will they have no pity, Over children, will their eye throw no shield.
