1:22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of warriors,
the bow of Jonathan was not turned away.
The sword of Saul never returned 1 empty.
13:18 Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons; 2
they have no compassion on a person’s offspring, 3
they will not 4 look with pity on children.
1 tn The Hebrew imperfect verbal form is used here to indicate repeated past action.
2 tn Heb “and bows cut to bits young men.” “Bows” stands by metonymy for arrows.
3 tn Heb “the fruit of the womb.”
4 tn Heb “their eye does not.” Here “eye” is a metonymy for the whole person.
