Jeremiah50:42
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance : they are cruel and will not shew mercy : their voice shall roar like the seas, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array like a man to the battel, against thee, O daughter of Babylon .
These were the two usual weapons of Souldiers in those Countries, chap. 6.23.
The Persians were a cruel bloody people.
These phrases signifie no more, then that the Enemies should come upon Babylon in a terrible manner, and prepared to destroy them.
