Lamentations 2:20-22
Legacy Standard Bible
Resh
20 See, O Yahweh, and look!
With (A)whom have You dealt thus?
Should women (B)eat their [a]offspring,
The infants who were [b]born healthy?
Should (C)priest and prophet be killed
In the sanctuary of the Lord?
Shin
21 On the ground in the streets
Lie (D)young and old;
My (E)virgins and my young men
Have fallen by the sword.
You have killed them in the day of Your anger;
You have slaughtered, (F)not sparing.
Tav
22 You called as in the day of an appointed time
My (G)terrors on every side;
And there was (H)no one who escaped or survived
In the day of Yahweh’s anger.
Those (I)whom I [c]gave birth to and reared,
My enemy consumed them.

Lamentations 2:20-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
20 Look, Lord, and see! With whom have you dealt so harshly?
Should women eat the children they produced,
the children they played with on their knee?
Should priest and prophet be killed in the Lord’s holy place?
21 In the streets young and old lie dead on the ground.
My virgins and my best young men have fallen by the sword.
You killed them on the day of your anger. You slaughtered and did not spare.
22 As you do on a day of assembly, you summoned from every side the things I dread.
On the day of the Lord’s anger, there was no one who escaped or survived.
The enemy destroyed the children I played with on my knee and raised.[a]
