Context of Isaiah 13:15
13Therefore I will make heaven tremble, and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of Adonai-Tzva’ot, in the day of His fierce fury. 14It will be like a hunted gazelle, or like sheep with no one gathering. Each will return to his own people, each will flee to his own country. Everyone found will be thrust through. Everyone caught will fall by the sword. 16Their babes will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be plundered, and their wives ravished. 17Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes, who will not value silver and will take no delight in gold.
