Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it—the identification of the Medes as the instruments of Babylon's judgment, characterized as uninterested in plunder and therefore more interested in destruction than in enrichment. The refusal of the Medes to be distracted by treasure suggests their complete focus on military conquest. This verse provides historical specificity to the judgment prophecy, identifying the Medes as the actual instrumentality of Babylon's fall.
