13:18 Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons; 1
they have no compassion on a person’s offspring, 2
they will not 3 look with pity on children.
1 tn Heb “and bows cut to bits young men.” “Bows” stands by metonymy for arrows.
2 tn Heb “the fruit of the womb.”
3 tn Heb “their eye does not.” Here “eye” is a metonymy for the whole person.
