17Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes,

who have no regard for silver

and no desire for gold.

17The Lord will stir up the Medes to attack the Babylonians.

They aren’t interested in getting silver.

They don’t want gold.

17Look! I will cause the Medes to come and attack Babylon. Their army has no interest in silver or gold, so nobody can pay them to stop.

17Behold, I am stirring up the Medes against them, || Who do not esteem silver, || And gold—they do not delight in it.
