Jeremiah 6:11

So then, with the indignation of Yahweh, am I full, I am too weary to hold it in, [I am constrained] to pour it out, upon the boy in the street, and upon the circle of young men, together,—For, even husband with wife, will be captured, The elder with him who is full of days;

In The King James Version
