Rotherham(i)
17 Behold me! stirring up against them, the Medes,––Who, of silver, shall take no account, And, as for gold, they shall not delight in it;
18 And, bows, shall dash the young to pieces,––And, on the fruit of the womb, will they have no pity, Over children, will, their eye, throw no shield.
19 Thus shall Babylon––The most lovely of kingdoms, The majestic beauty of the Chaldees––Become, as in the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah. 20 It shall not be dwelt, in for ever, Neither shall it be inhabited, from generation to generation,––Neither shall encamp there, an Arab, Nor, shepherds, fold their flocks there. 21 Then shall lie down, there, wild beasts, And filled, shall be their houses, with, owls,––Then shall inhabit there, the ostrich, And, shaggy creatures, shall dance there. 22 And jackals, shall answer, in their citadels, And, wild dogs, in their voluptuous palaces,––And near to come, is, her time, And, her days, shall not be delayed.
