“Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.”
Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children—the ruthlessness of the Median conquest, with particular emphasis on the destruction of the young and the vulnerable. The refusal to spare children indicates that the Median conquest will be total and comprehensive. This verse emphasizes the mercilessness of the judgment that God executes through Median forces.
