Isaiah 13:17–20

Babylon Will Fall to the Medes

17 Behold, I am going to astir up the Medes against them,

Who will not value silver or btake pleasure in gold.

18 And their bows will 1mow down the ayoung men,

They will not even have compassion on the fruit of the womb,

Nor will their beye pity 2children.

19 And aBabylon, the bbeauty of kingdoms, the glory of the Chaldeans’ pride,

Will be as when God coverthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

20 It will anever be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation;

Nor will the bArab pitch his tent there,

Nor will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
