¹⁷ Behold, I am going to ^(A)stir up the Medes against them,
Who will not value silver or ^(B)take pleasure in gold.
¹⁸ And their bows will ^[a]mow down the ^(C)young men,
They will not even have compassion on the fruit of the womb,
Nor will their ^(D)eye pity ^[b]children.

⁶ “I was angry with My people,
I profaned My heritage
And gave them into your hand.
You did not show mercy to them,
On the ^(A)aged you made your yoke very heavy.
