Isaia 13:16 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 13:16

Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their
eyes
Upon the ground, or against the wall, as was foretold should be, ( Psalms 137:8 Psalms 137:9 ) and in way of retaliation for what they did to the Jews, ( 2 Chronicles 36:17 ) and this was to be done "before their eyes", in the sight of the inhabitants, which must make it the more distressing and afflicting; and, as Kimchi observes, this phrase is to be applied to the following clauses: their houses shall be spoiled;
plundered of the substance, wealth, and riches in them, by the Persian soldiers: and their wives ravished;
by the same, and both before their eyes, and after that slain, in like manner as they had ravished the women in Zion, ( Lamentations 5:11 ) .

Isaia 13:16 In-Context

14 Ed essi saranno come un cavriuolo cacciato, e come pecore che niuno accoglie; ciascuno si volterà verso il suo popolo, e ciascuno fuggirà al suo paese.
15 Chiunque sarà trovato sarà trafitto, e chiunque si sarà aggiunto con loro caderà per la spada.
16 E i lor fanciulletti saranno schiacciati davanti agli occhi loro; le lor case saranno rubate, e le lor mogli violate.
17 Ecco, io eccito contro a loro i Medi, i quali non faranno stima alcuna dell’argento, e non vorranno oro.
18 E con gli archi loro atterreranno i fanciulli, e non avranno pietà del frutto del ventre; e l’occhio loro non risparmierà i figlioletti.
