Isaiah 13:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 I am stirring up against them the Medes,
who think nothing of silver
and take no delight in gold.(A)
18 With their bows they shall shatter the young men,
And the fruit of the womb they shall not spare,
nor shall their eye take pity on children.
19 And Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms,
the glory and pride of the Chaldeans,
Shall become like Sodom and Gomorrah,
overthrown by God.(B)
