ease, and
will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.

13:12. A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest
of gold.

13:13. For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved
out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the
day of his fierce wrath.

13:14. And they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and
there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his
own people, and every one shall flee to his own land.

13:15. Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that
shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword.

13:16. Their inhabitants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes:
their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished.

13:17. Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not seek
silver, nor desire gold:

13:18. But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall
have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not

13:19. And that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of
the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha.

13:20. It shall no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be

13:21. But wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be

13:22. And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof,
and sirens in the temples of pleasure.
