and (they) will not show mercy even to the children.β (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: βBy shooting arrows with [their] bows they will kill young men.

nor will they show love and kindness to children.β (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: βThey will-kill with bows-and-arrows the young men of Babilonia. They will-have- no -mercy on the children including the infants.β (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
