17 I’m going to stir up the Medes against them.
    They don’t care for silver and aren’t happy with gold.
18 But their bows will smash the youth.
    They’ll have no compassion for babies,
        nor will they look with pity on children.

19 Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms,
    the proud beauty of the Chaldeans,
        will be like Sodom and Gomorrah when Elohim destroyed them.
