17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver, nor be desirous of gold.

18 With bows also shall they destroy the children, and shall have no compassion upon the fruit of the womb, and their eyes shall not spare the children.

19 And Babel the glory of kingdoms, the beauty and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God (A)in Sodom and Gomorrah.
