4 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “young” →
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD .
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD .
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
