25 In the street the sword will make them childless;

in their homes terror will reign.

The young men and young women will perish,

the infants and those with gray hair.

25 Outdoors the sword shall bereave,

and indoors terror,

for young man and woman alike,

the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.

25 The sword without,

And terror within, shall destroy

Both the young man and the virgin,

The suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

25 Outside, the sword will bring death,

and inside, terror will strike

both young men and young women,

both infants and the aged.

25 The sword shall destroy outside;

There shall be terror within

For the young man and virgin,

The nursing child with the man of gray hairs.

25 In the streets the sword will kill;

in their homes there will be terror.

Young men and women will die,

and so will babies and gray-haired men.

25 Without shall the sword bereave,

And in the chambers terror;

It shall destroy both young man and virgin,

The suckling with the man of gray hairs.

25 From without shall the sword bereave them, and in the chambers, terror—Both the young man and the virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.

25 Foreign wars will kill off their children, 

and even at home there will be horrors. 

Young men and young women alike will die 

as well as nursing babies and gray-haired men. 

25 Outside, the sword will take their children,

and inside, there will be terror;

the young man and the young woman will be killed,

the infant and the gray-haired man.

25 In the street the sword shall bereave,

and in the chambers terror,

for young man and woman alike,

nursing child and old gray head.

25 From outside her boundaries the sword will make her childless,

and from inside, terror;

both for the young man and also the young woman,

the infant along with the gray-headed man.

25 In the streets their children will be killed with swords.

Their homes will be filled with terror.

Young men and women will die.

Babies and old people will die.
