With arrows [02671] and with bows [07198] shall men come [0935] thither; because all the land [0776] shall become briers [08068] and thorns [07898].
Their bows [07198] also shall dash [07376] the young men [05288] to pieces [07376]; and they shall have no pity [07355] on the fruit [06529] of the womb [0990]; their eye [05869] shall not spare [02347] children [01121].
For they fled [05074] from [06440] the swords [02719], from [06440] the drawn [05203] sword [02719], and from [06440] the bent [01869] bow [07198], and from [06440] the grievousness [03514] of war [04421].from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc

The whole city [05892] shall flee [01272] for the noise [06963] of the horsemen [06571] and bowmen [07411] [07198]; they shall go [0935] into thickets [05645], and climb up [05927] upon the rocks [03710]: every city [05892] shall be forsaken [05800], and not a man [0376] dwell [03427] therein [02004].
They shall lay hold [02388] on bow [07198] and spear [03591]; they are cruel [0394], and have no mercy [07355]; their voice [06963] roareth [01993] like the sea [03220]; and they ride [07392] upon horses [05483], set in array [06186] as men [0376] for war [04421] against thee, O daughter [01323] of Zion [06726].
And they bend [01869] their tongues [03956] like their bow [07198] for lies [08267]: but they are not valiant [01396] for the truth [0530] upon the earth [0776]; for they proceed [03318] from evil [07451] to evil [07451], and they know [03045] not me, saith [05002] the Lord [03068].
Come up [05927], ye horses [05483]; and rage [01984], ye chariots [07393]; and let the mighty men [01368] come forth [03318]; the Ethiopians [03568] and the Libyans [06316], that handle [08610] the shield [04043]; and the Lydians [03866], that handle [08610] and bend [01869] the bow [07198].the Ethiopians: Heb.

Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635]; Behold, I will break [07665] the bow [07198] of Elam [05867], the chief [07225] of their might [01369].
Put yourselves in array [06186] against Babylon [0894] round about [05439]: all ye that bend [01869] the bow [07198], shoot [03034] at her, spare [02550] no arrows [02671]: for she hath sinned [02398] against the Lord [03068].
Call together [08085] the archers [07228] against Babylon [0894]: all ye that bend [01869] the bow [07198], camp [02583] against it round about [05439]; let none thereof escape [06413]: recompense [07999] her according to her work [06467]; according to all that she hath done [06213], do [06213] unto her: for she hath been proud [02102] against the Lord [03068], against the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478].
They shall hold [02388] the bow [07198] and the lance [03591]: they are cruel [0394], and will not shew mercy [07355]: their voice [06963] shall roar [01993] like the sea [03220], and they shall ride [07392] upon horses [05483], every one put in array [06186], like a man [0376] to the battle [04421], against thee, O daughter [01323] of Babylon [0894].
Against him that bendeth [01869] let the archer [01869] bend [01869] his bow [07198], and against him that lifteth himself up [05927] in his brigandine [05630]: and spare [02550] ye not her young men [0970]; destroy ye utterly [02763] all her host [06635].
Because the spoiler [07703] is come [0935] upon her, even upon Babylon [0894], and her mighty men [01368] are taken [03920], every one of their bows [07198] is broken [02865]: for the Lord [03068] God [0410] of recompences [01578] shall surely [07999] requite [07999].
He hath bent [01869] his bow [07198] like an enemy [0341]: he stood [05324] with his right hand [03225] as an adversary [06862], and slew [02026] all that were pleasant [04261] to the eye [05869] in the tabernacle [0168] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]: he poured out [08210] his fury [02534] like fire [0784].all…: Heb. all the desirable of the eye

This was the appearance [04758] of the likeness [01823] of the glory [03519] of the Lord [03068]. And when I saw [07200] it, I fell [05307] upon my face [06440], and I heard [08085] a voice [06963] of one that spake [01696].
And I will smite [05221] thy bow [07198] out of thy left [08040] hand [03027], and will cause thine arrows [02671] to fall [05307] out of thy right [03225] hand [03027].
And they that dwell [03427] in the cities [05892] of Israel [03478] shall go forth [03318], and shall set [01197] on fire [0784] and burn [05400] the weapons [05402], both the shields [04043] and the bucklers [06793], the bows [07198] and the arrows [02671], and the handstaves [04731] [03027], and the spears [07420], and they shall burn [01197] them with fire [0784] seven [07651] years [08141]:handstaves: or, javelinsburn them…: or, make a fire of them
And it shall come to pass at that day [03117], that I will break [07665] the bow [07198] of Israel [03478] in the valley [06010] of Jezreel [03157].
But I will have mercy [07355] upon the house [01004] of Judah [03063], and will save [03467] them by the Lord [03068] their God [0430], and will not save [03467] them by bow [07198], nor by sword [02719], nor by battle [04421], by horses [05483], nor by horsemen [06571].
And in that day [03117] will I make [03772] a covenant [01285] for them with the beasts [02416] of the field [07704], and with the fowls [05775] of heaven [08064], and with the creeping things [07431] of the ground [0127]: and I will break [07665] the bow [07198] and the sword [02719] and the battle [04421] out of the earth [0776], and will make them to lie down [07901] safely [0983].
They return [07725], but not to the most High [05920]: they are like a deceitful [07423] bow [07198]: their princes [08269] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719] for the rage [02195] of their tongue [03956]: this [02097] shall be their derision [03933] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
Neither shall he stand [05975] that handleth [08610] the bow [07198]; and he that is swift [07031] of foot [07272] shall not deliver [04422] himself: neither shall he that rideth [07392] the horse [05483] deliver [04422] himself [05315].
Thy bow [07198] was made quite [06181] naked [05783], according to the oaths [07621] of the tribes [04294], even thy word [0562]. Selah [05542]. Thou didst cleave [01234] the earth [0776] with rivers [05104].earth…: or, rivers of the earth
