Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

The verse 18 is found in chapter 13 of Isaiah. The image of Babylon as an abandoned city carries judgment from the battlefield to complete ruin. The disappearance of its inhabitants and the presence of wild animals emphasize a radical reversal of its former greatness. The prophecy uses poetic language of devastation to communicate the end of imperial arrogance.

sondern die Jünglinge mit Bogen erschießen und sich der Furcht des Leibes nicht erbarmen noch der Kinder schonen.
Y con arcos tirarán a los niños, y no tendrán misericordia de fruto de vientre, ni su ojo perdonará a hijos.
Sus arcos destrozarán a los jóvenes; no tendrán compasión del fruto del vientre ni sus ojos tendrán piedad de los niños».
De leurs arcs ils abattront les jeunes gens, Et ils seront sans pitié pour le fruit des entrailles: Leur oeil n'épargnera point les enfants.
E con gli archi loro atterreranno i fanciulli, e non avranno pietà del frutto del ventre; e l’occhio loro non risparmierà i figlioletti
E os seus arcos despedaçarão os jovens, e não se compadecerão do fruto do ventre; os seus olhos não pouparão aos filhos.
他們必用弓擊潰青年, 不憐憫婦人所生的; 眼也不顧惜孩子。
