Isaiah 13:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ Behold, I am stirring up the Medes against them,
    who have no regard for silver
    and do not delight in gold.
¹⁸ Their bows will slaughter the young men;
    they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb;
    their eyes will not pity children.
¹⁹ And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,
    the splendor and pride of the Chalde′ans,
will be like Sodom and Gomor′rah
    when God overthrew them.
