Lamentations 2:20-22

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁰ Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom You have done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, nursing children? Shall the Priest and the Prophet be killed in the Sanctuary of the LORD?

²¹ The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them on the day of Your wrath. You have killed, and not spared.

²² You have called my terrors, all around, as on a Feast Day; so that on the day of the LORD’s wrath, no one escaped or remained. Those whom I have nourished and brought up my enemy has consumed.
