Isaiah 13:18

13:18 Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons;

they have no compassion on a person’s offspring,

they will not look with pity on children.


tn Heb “and bows cut to bits young men.” “Bows” stands by metonymy for arrows.

tn Heb “the fruit of the womb.”

tn Heb “their eye does not.” Here “eye” is a metonymy for the whole person.
