And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith Jehovah.

Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst.
