Isaiah 13:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴     Then, in their confusion and distress,
        like a hunted gazelle or a neglected stray sheep,
    They will turn to their own people and run for whatever seems safe;
        they’ll try to escape to their own land.
¹⁵     The terror rages on. Anyone who’s found will be run through with a sword.
        Those who are caught will die by its cruel edge.
¹⁶     Their babies will be dashed to pieces on the rocks as they look on in horror;
        their houses will be ransacked, and their wives will be raped.
