arrows
Jeremiah 50:9
For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
so are children
Proverbs 17:6
Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
Proverbs 31:28
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
