25 eOutdoors the sword shall bereave,
and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
Jerusalem Captured and Burned
17 Therefore he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or aged. He gave them all into his hand.
11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord;
eI am weary of holding it in.
“Pour it out upon the fchildren in the street,
and upon the gatherings of young men, also;
both husband and wife shall be taken,
the elderly and the very aged.
21 In the dust of the streets
lie the syoung and the old;
my young women and my young men
have fallen by the sword;
you have killed them in the day of your anger,
slaughtering without pity.
