Which Bible are you quoting? In verse 17 God says that He's going to stir up the Medes and have them do His dirty work. From the beginning of the 13th chapter it is God gathering His forces and announcing what He is going to do:


3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. 


4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. 


5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. 


6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 


Prediction my ass, God is alledged to have done the whole thing and is given credit for it. "...it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty."


Please not also that the two scriptures:


15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. 


16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.


Come before any mention is made of the Medes.



If you are going to discuss this, then give quotes or scriptural references please.  And just because the internet doesn't know that the Medes had goats doesn't mean that they didn't.  Don't let that get your goat though.:)
