"For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, [and] the young men from the streets."
— Jeremiah 9:21, World English Bible
“For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.”
“For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets. ”
“‘Death has climbed in through our windows. It has entered into our fortified houses. It has taken away our children who play in the streets. It has taken away our young men who gather in the city squares.’”
“For death is come up through our windows, it is entered into our houses to destroy the children from without, the young men from the streets.”
“For death has come up into our windows, forcing its way into our great houses; cutting off the children in the streets and the young men in the wide places.”
“For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.”
and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.
Yet hear the word of Yahweh, you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor lamentation.
For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, [and] the young men from the streets.
Speak, Thus says Yahweh, The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester; and none shall gather [them].
Thus says Yahweh, Don't let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, don't let the rich man glory in his riches;
but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yahweh.
