17. Look, I will cause the armies of Media to attack Babylon.They do not care about silver.They do not delight in gold.
18. Their soldiers will shoot the young men with arrows.The soldiers will show no mercy on the children.They will not feel sorry for the little boys.
19. Babylon is the most beautiful of all kingdoms.The Babylonians are very proud of it.But God will destroy itlike Sodom and Gomorrah.
20. No one will ever live there.No one will settle there again.No Arab will put his tent there.No shepherd will bring his sheep there.
