13:15 Everyone who is caught will be stabbed;
everyone who is seized 1 will die 2 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.
13:17 Look, I am stirring up the Medes to attack them; 3
they are not concerned about silver,
nor are they interested in gold. 4
13:18 Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons; 5
they have no compassion on a person’s offspring, 6
they will not 7 look with pity on children.
13:19 Babylon, the most admired 8 of kingdoms,
the Chaldeans’ source of honor and pride, 9
will be destroyed by God
just as Sodom and Gomorrah were. 10
18:16 Below his roots dry up,
and his branches wither above.
18:19 He has neither children nor descendants 11 among his people,
no survivor in those places he once stayed. 12
21:10 You destroy their offspring 13 from the earth,
their descendants 14 from among the human race. 15
37:28 For the Lord promotes 16 justice,
and never abandons 17 his faithful followers.
They are permanently secure, 18
but the children 19 of evil men are wiped out. 20
109:13 May his descendants 21 be cut off! 22
May the memory of them be wiped out by the time the next generation arrives! 23
137:8 O daughter Babylon, soon to be devastated! 24
How blessed will be the one who repays you
for what you dished out to us! 25
137:9 How blessed will be the one who grabs your babies
and smashes them on a rock! 26
