¹⁷ Behold, I am going to ^(A)awaken the Medes against them,
Who will not think about silver or ^(B)take pleasure in gold.

^11 (A)Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers!
Yahweh has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes
Because His purpose is against Babylon to destroy it;
For it is the ^(B)vengeance of Yahweh, vengeance for His temple.

²⁸ Set apart the nations against her,
The kings of the Medes,
^[a]Their governors and all ^[b]their ^[c]prefects
And every land of ^[d]their rule.
