Lamentations 2:21
The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.
KJV
Jacuerunt in terra foris puer et senex ; virgines meæ et juvenes mei ceciderunt in gladio : interfecisti in die furoris tui, percussisti, nec misertus es.
Vulgate
Χσέν. Ἐκοιμήθησαν εἰς τὴν ἔξοδον παιδάριον καὶ πρεσβύτης· παρθένοι μου καὶ νεανίσκοι μου ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ· ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ ἀπέκτεινας, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς σου ἐμαγείρευσας, οὐκ ἐφείσω.
LXX
The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; My virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: Thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast slaughtered, and not pitied.
