Lamentations 2:21

21 “Young and old lie together in the dust of the streets; my young men and young women have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered them without pity.

Lamentations 4:9

9 Those killed by the sword are better off than those who die of famine; racked with hunger, they waste away for lack of food from the field.
