Isaiah 13:14-16

Context

13:14 Like a frightened gazelle 1 

or a sheep with no shepherd,

each will turn toward home, 2 

each will run to his homeland.

13:15 Everyone who is caught will be stabbed;

everyone who is seized 3  will die 4  by the sword.

13:16 Their children will be smashed to pieces before their very eyes;

their houses will be looted

and their wives raped.
