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
New American Standard Bible 1995

20 See, O Lord, and look!
With (A)whom have You dealt thus?
Should women (B)eat their [a]offspring,
The little ones who were [b]born healthy?
Should (C)priest and prophet be slain
In the sanctuary of the Lord?
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 slain them in the day of Your anger,
You have slaughtered, (F)not sparing.
22 You called as in the day of an appointed feast
My (G)terrors on every side;
And there was (H)no one who escaped or survived
In the day of the Lord’s anger.
Those (I)whom I [c]bore and reared,
My enemy annihilated them.
