- τεινέτω ὁ τείνων τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιθέσθω ᾧ ἐστὶν ὅπλα αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ φείσησθε ἐπὶ νεανίσκους αὐτῆς καὶ ἀφανίσατε πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῆς.

Haydock's commentary
Mail. There will be little or no resistance made, chap. l. 3. (Haydock)
The Persians denounce destruction to all taken in arms; or, according to Septuagint and Syriac they exhort each other to fight. (Calmet)
"Let him," &c. (Haydock)
Hebrew of the Masorets, "you who bend....spare not." (Calmet)
Protestants, "against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow," &c. (Haydock)
Hebrew is printed ne tendat tendat tendans. The second word is properly omitted in some manuscripts. Thus (1 Chronicles xxiv. 6.) we read taken taken, achuz having been put erroneously for achad, one. (Kennicott)
