17 The Lord will stir up the Medes to attack the Babylonians.
They aren't interested in getting silver.
They don't delight in gold.
18 Instead, they will use their bows and arrows
to strike the young men down.
They won't even show any mercy to babies.
They won't take pity on children.
19 The city of Babylon is the jewel of kingdoms.
It is the glory and pride of the Babylonians.
But God will destroy it
just as he did Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 No one will ever live in Babylon again.
No one will live there for all time to come.
Arabs will never set up their tents there.
Shepherds will never rest their flocks there.
21 But desert creatures will lie down there.
Wild dogs will fill its houses.
Owls will live there.
Wild goats will jump around in it.
22 Hyenas will cry out in its forts.
Wild dogs will bark in its beautiful palaces.
The time for Babylon to be punished is near.
Its days are numbered.

13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet. Then I heard a voice coming from the corners of the golden altar that stands in front of God. 14 The voice spoke to the sixth angel who had the trumpet. It said, "Set the four angels free who are held at the great river Euphrates."
15 The four angels had been ready for this very hour and day and month and year. They were set free to kill a third of all people. 16 The number of troops on horseback was 200,000,000. I heard how many there were.

1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority. His glory filled the earth with light. 2 With a mighty voice he shouted,
"Fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen!
She has become a place where demons live.
She has become a den for every evil spirit.
She has become a nest for every 'unclean' and hated bird.
3 All the nations have drunk
the strong wine of her terrible sins.
The kings of the earth took part in her evil ways.
The traders of the world grew rich from her great wealth."

17The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur. 18A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. 19The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
