The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
La guerra desde afuera y el terror desde adentro destruirán a todos: jóvenes y jovencitas, bebés y ancianos por igual.
Tanto la guerra externa como el miedo interno traerán destrucción completa a todas las edades.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse is part of the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy, a prophetic poem delivered by Moses to the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land, warning them of the dire consequences of future unfaithfulness to God. It describes God's judgment through external enemies (the sword) and internal fears (terror within), which would bring destruction to all people regardless of age, reflecting the ancient Israelite understanding of divine retribution for covenant-breaking. Historically, this song served as a farewell address, emphasizing the seriousness of idolatry and disobedience in a culture where loyalty to God was central to national survival.
