Empuñan arco y jabalina; son crueles y no tienen misericordia. Su voz ruge como el mar, y a caballo van montados, alineados como un solo hombre para la batalla contra ti, hija de Babilonia.
Arco y lanza manejarán; serán crueles, y no tendrán compasión; su voz sonará como la mar, y montarán sobre caballos: apercibirse han como hombre á la pelea, contra ti, oh hija de Babilonia.
Arco y lanza manejarán; serán crueles, y no tendrán misericordia; su voz sonará como el mar, y montarán sobre caballos; se apercibirán como hombre para la batalla, contra ti, oh hija de Babilonia.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
They shall hold the bow and the lance,.... Or "spear". The Targum interprets it, "shields"; as many in Cyrus's army had t; the one an offensive, the other a defensive weapon; or, if bow and lance, the one is used at a distance, the other when near. The Medes and Persians were well skilled in handling the bow, as once and again observed: this very properly describes the armour of the Persians; which were, as Herodotus u says, large bows and short spears; and Xenophon w observes, that, besides bows and arrows, they had two javelins or lances, one of which they cast, and the other they held and used in their hands, as they found necessary; and so Cyrus x, in a speech of his, says that they had breast plates to cover their bodies, and lances or javelins which they could use by throwing or holding, as they pleased:
they [are] cruel, and will not show mercy: not even to infants, but dash them against the stones, Psalms 137:8; see Isaiah 13:17; and
Isaiah 13:17- : and
Isaiah 13:17- :; hence "horribilis Medus", in Horace y:
their voice shall roar like the sea; when there is a tempest on it. This does not design the shout of the soldiers, when beginning the onset in battle, or making an attack upon a city besieged; but the noise of their march, their foot, and horse, and chariots, and the clashing of their army; all which, by reason of their numbers, would be very clamorous and terrible:
and they shall ride upon horses; the Persians had a large cavalry, their country abounding in horses:
[everyone] put in array like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon; furnished with armour, and put in a proper disposition, all in rank and file, well accoutred, and full of spirit, prepared to engage in battle, with you, O ye inhabitants of Babylon.
