⁴³ “You have engulfed us with your anger, chased us down,
    and slaughtered us without mercy.

²¹ “See them lying in the streets—
    young and old,
boys and girls,
    killed by the swords of the enemy.
You have killed them in your anger,
    slaughtering them without mercy.

¹⁷ But it is the Lord who did just as he planned.
    He has fulfilled the promises of disaster
    he made long ago.
He has destroyed Jerusalem without mercy.
    He has caused her enemies to gloat over her
    and has given them power over her.

⁶⁶ Chase them down in your anger,
    destroying them beneath the Lord’s heavens.

² Without mercy the Lord has destroyed
    every home in Israel.^[c]
In his anger he has broken down
    the fortress walls of beautiful Jerusalem.^[d]
He has brought them to the ground,
    dishonoring the kingdom and its rulers.

¹⁵ chase them with your fierce storm;
    terrify them with your tempest.

⁹ I will turn my eyes away and show no pity.
    I will repay you for all your detestable sins.
Then you will know that it is I, the Lord,
    who is striking the blow.

¹⁹ Yet you have crushed us in the jackal’s desert home.
    You have covered us with darkness and death.
