  2. Exposition

What does it mean that the Medes “will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb"?

Isaiah 13:18 (ESV)

18 Their bows will slaughter the young men; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; their eyes will not pity children.

The Medes were extremely cruel and would not even have sympathy for the children.
