17 Behold, I am going to (A)awaken the Medes against them,
Who will not think about silver or (B)take pleasure in gold.
18 And their bows will dash the (C)young men to pieces,
They will not even have compassion on the fruit of the womb,
Nor will their (D)eye pity [a]children.
19 And it will be that (E)Babylon, the (F)beauty of kingdoms, the [b]honor of the Chaldeans’ pride,
Will be as when God (G)overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
