From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Therefore shall all hands be faint -This is designed to denote the consternation and alarm of the people. They would be so terrified and alarmed that they would have no courage, no hope, and no power to make resistance. They would abandon their plans of defense, and give themselves up to despair (compareJeremiah 50:43: ‘The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble; anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a Women in travail;’Ezekiel 7:17;Zephaniah 3:16). And every man’s heart shall melt -Or, shall faint, so that he shall have no courage or strength (compareDeuteronomy 20:8). The fact was, that the destruction of Babylon took place in the night.
