Jeremiah 9:21-23

The Voice

²¹     For death has found us all.
        It has crept in through our windows and slipped past our defenses.
    It has cut down our children in the streets,
        and our young men in the public squares. Death has found us all.
²²     Tell everyone what the Eternal has said:
        “The dead bodies of men will fall like dung on the open field.
    Corpses will lie on the ground like grain cut in the harvest;
        but on this day, there will be no one to gather and bury the dead.”
