Jeremiah 9:21

21 Death has come in through our windows and entered our palaces; it has cut down the children in the streets and the young men in the marketplaces.

Jeremiah 9:21 In-Context

19 Listen to the sound of crying in Zion: "We are ruined! We are completely disgraced! We must leave our land; our homes have been torn down."
20 I said, "Listen to the Lord, you women, and pay attention to his words. Teach your daughters how to mourn, and your friends how to sing a funeral song.
21 Death has come in through our windows and entered our palaces; it has cut down the children in the streets and the young men in the marketplaces.
22 Dead bodies are scattered everywhere, like piles of manure on the fields, like grain cut and left behind by the reapers, grain that no one gathers. This is what the Lord has told me to say."
23 The Lord says, "The wise should not boast of their wisdom, nor the strong of their strength, nor the rich of their wealth.
