'Young' in the Bible

The roads that lead to Zion are in mourning, because no one travels to the festivals. All her gates are desolate; her priests are moaning. Her young women are grieving, and she is bitter.

He rejected all the valiant men the LORD, in my midst. He set a time to meet with me to crush my young warriors. The LORD has trampled, as in a winepress, the fair virgin that is Judah.

The LORD is in the right, but I rebelled against his commands. Listen, please, all you people, and look at my pain my young men and women have gone into captivity.

The leaders of cherished Zion sit silently on the ground; they throw dust on their heads and dress in mourning clothes. The young women of Jerusalem bow their heads in sorrow.

Young men and the aged lie on the ground in the streets; my young women and young men have fallen by the sword. You killed them in your anger, slaughtering them without pity.

It is good when a young man carries the yoke of discipline in his youth.

What I see grieves my soul because of all the young women of my city.

Even wild animals nurse, suckling their young; but the women of my people are cruel, like ostriches in the wilderness.

The nursing child's tongue cleaves to its palate from thirst. Young children beg for bread, but no one gives them any.

They have raped women in Zion, young women in the towns of Judah.

Our young men must grind grain with a millstone; our youths stumble under the weight of wood.

Our elders have ceased ruling at the gate; our young men have abandoned their music.
