Isaiah 40:30
Even youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
Isaiah 9:17
Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men,
Nor does He have compassion on their fatherless or their widows;
For every one of them is godless and an evildoer,
And every mouth is speaking foolishness.
In spite of all this, God’s anger does not turn away
But His hand is still stretched out [in judgment].

But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

And my lifetime is as nothing in Your sight.
Surely every man at his best is a mere breath [a wisp of smoke, a vapor that vanishes]!

They will take no pity on the fruit of the womb,
Their eyes will not look with compassion on the children.

I am tired of restraining it.

And on the young men gathered together;
For both the husband and wife shall be taken,
The aged and the very old [though full of days they are not exempt from judgment].
Jeremiah 9:21
For death has come up through our windows;
It has entered our palaces,
Cutting off the children from the streets
And the young men from the town squares.

And the strong shall not strengthen nor maintain his power,
Nor shall the mighty man save his own life.
