Isaiah 13:17

An Oracle Against Babylon

¹⁶ Their children will be smashed to death before their eyes;
their houses will be looted,
and their wives raped.
¹⁷ Look! I am stirring up the Medes against them,
who cannot be bought off with silver
and who have no desire for gold.
¹⁸ Their bows will cut young men to pieces.
They will have no compassion on little ones;
they will not look with pity on children.

Sharpen the arrows!

of the kings of the Medes
because His plan is aimed at Babylon
to destroy her,
for it is the Lord’s vengeance,
vengeance for His temple.

who exult in My triumph,
to execute My wrath.

one from the east who invokes My name.

For I will soon stir up and bring against Babylon
an assembly of great nations from the north country.
They will line up in battle formation against her;
from there she will be captured.
Their arrows will be like those of a skilled warrior
who does not return empty-handed.

Jeremiah 51:27-28

Raise a signal flag in the land;
blow a ram’s horn among the nations;
set apart the nations against her.
Summon kingdoms against her—
Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz.
Appoint a marshal against her;
bring up horses like a swarm of locusts.
