20. Look, O Lord, and see! With whom have you dealt thus? Should women eat the fruit of their womb,the children of their tender care?Should priest and prophet be killedin the sanctuary of the Lord?
21. In the dust of the streets lie the young and the old; my young women and my young menhave fallen by the sword; you have killed them in the day of your anger,slaughtering without pity.
22. You summoned as if to a festival day my terrors on every side, and on the day of the anger of the Lordno one escaped or survived; those whom I held and raisedmy enemy destroyed.
