Thematic Bible: Treated with cruelty in war
Thematic Bible
Women » Treated with cruelty in war
The young and the old
Lie on the ground in the streets;
My virgins and my young men
Have fallen by the sword.
You have killed them in the day of Your anger,
You have slaughtered, not sparing.
They ravished the women in Zion,
The virgins in the cities of Judah.
‘Outside the sword will bereave,
And inside [the chambers] terror—
For both young man and virgin,
For the nursing child and the man of gray hair.
