Strongs On/Off
Context
13:16 Their children will be smashed to pieces before their very eyes ; their houses will be looted and their wives raped .
13:17 Look , I am stirring up the Medes to attack them; they are not concerned about silver , nor are they interested in gold .
13:18 Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons ; they have no compassion on a person’s offspring , they will not look with pity on children .
13:19 Babylon , the most admired of kingdoms , the Chaldeans ’ source of honor and pride , will be destroyed by God just as Sodom and Gomorrah were.
13:20 No one will live there again ; no one will ever reside there again . No bedouin will camp there , no shepherds will rest their flocks there .
13:21 Wild animals will rest there , the ruined houses will be full of hyenas . Ostriches will live there , wild goats will skip among the ruins.
13:22 Wild dogs will yip in her ruined fortresses , jackals will yelp in the once-splendid palaces . Her time is almost up , her days will not be prolonged .
