17 “Look, I will stir up the Medes against Babylon.
    They cannot be tempted by silver
    or bribed with gold.
18 The attacking armies will shoot down the young men with arrows.
    They will have no mercy on helpless babies
    and will show no compassion for children.”

    the flower of Chaldean pride,
will be devastated like Sodom and Gomorrah
    when God destroyed them.
