²¹ Death has climbed in through our windows^(A)
    and has entered our fortresses;
it has removed the children from the streets
    and the young men^(B) from the public squares.

⁷ I will winnow^(A) them with a winnowing fork
    at the city gates of the land.
I will bring bereavement^(B) and destruction on my people,^(C)
    for they have not changed their ways.^(D)

¹¹ But I am full of the wrath^(A) of the Lord,
    and I cannot hold it in.^(B)

“Pour it out on the children in the street
    and on the young men^(C) gathered together;
both husband and wife will be caught in it,
    and the old, those weighed down with years.^(D)
