Ezekiel 39:3

Ezekiel 39:3

And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand
In which it is usually held, to have the arrow fitted to it: and I will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand;
where they are commonly held when put into the bow, and then the bow is drawn with it; signifying hereby, that though he should come into the land of Israel, he should not succeed; he would be stripped of his armour, and it would be useless to him: bows and arrows are put for all kind of warlike instruments; and are particularly mentioned because they were chiefly used in war when this prophecy was delivered.
