Isaiah 13:15

13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His burning anger.

14 Like a hunted gazelle, like a sheep without a shepherd, each will return to his own people, each will flee to his native land.

Whoever is caught will be stabbed, and whoever is captured will die by the sword.

16 Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses will be looted, and their wives will be ravished.

17 Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes, who have no regard for silver and no desire for gold.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
