14 And this shall happen:

like a hunted gazelle or sheep with none to gather them,[a]
they will each turn to his own people,
    and they will each flee to his own land.

16 And their children will be dashed into pieces before their eyes;
    their houses will be plundered, and their wives will be raped.[b]
