²⁰ See, Lord, and look!
With ^(A)whom have You dealt this way?
Should women really ^(B)eat their ^[a]children,
The little ones who were ^[b]born healthy?
Should ^(C)priest and prophet really be killed
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 put them to death on the day of Your anger,
You have slaughtered, ^(F)without sparing.
²² You called as on the day of an appointed feast
My ^(G)terrors on every side;
And there was ^(H)no one who survived or escaped
On the day of the Lord’s anger.
As for those ^(I)whom I brought forth healthy and whom I raised,
My enemy annihilated them.”
