21 Death has climbed in through our windows

and has entered our fortresses;

it has removed the children from the streets

and the young men from the public squares.

21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, To cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

21 For death has crept in through our windows

and has entered our mansions.

It has killed off the flower of our youth:

Children no longer play in the streets,

and young men no longer gather in the squares.

21 For death has come through our windows,

Has entered our palaces,

To kill off the children—no longer to be outside!

And the young men—no longer on the streets!

21 Death has climbed in through our windows

and has entered our strong cities.

Death has taken away our children who play in the streets

and the young men who meet in the city squares.

21 For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

21 For death is come up through our windows, is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from the street, the young men from the broadways.

21 Death has come through our windows and entered our palaces. 

Death has cut down the children in the streets 

and the young men in the marketplaces. 

21 for Death has climbed through our windows;

it has entered our fortresses,

cutting off children from the streets,

young men from the squares.

21 “Death has come up into our windows,

it has entered our palaces,

to cut off the children from the streets

and the young men from the squares.”

21 For death has come into our windows,

it has entered into our fortresses,

to cut off the children from the streets,

the young men from the public squares.

21 Death has climbed in through our windows.

It has entered our forts.

It has removed the children from the streets.

It has taken the young people out of the market places.

21 For death has come up through our windows;

It has entered our palaces

To cut off the children from the streets,

The young men from the town squares.
