The word that “I will stir up the Medes” and that Babylon will be like Sodom and Gomorrah
메대 사람을 격동시키리라 하고 바벨론이 소돔과 고모라 같이 되리라는 말씀
Isaiah 13:17–22: the text says, “Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will not delight in it. Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children. Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there. But wild animals of the desert will lie there, and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will frolic there. Hyenas will cry in their fortresses, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged.” The text does not name the “I” of 13:17. The Korean Revised Version names the Medes again at 13:18 (메대 사람이 활로 청년을 쏘아 죽이며), where WEB reads “Their bows”, and reads 그의 때 at 13:22, where WEB reads “Her time”.
