Lamentations 5:11-15
New Living Translation
11 Our enemies rape the women in Jerusalem[a]
and the young girls in all the towns of Judah.
12 Our princes are being hanged by their thumbs,
and our elders are treated with contempt.
13 Young men are led away to work at millstones,
and boys stagger under heavy loads of wood.
14 The elders no longer sit in the city gates;
the young men no longer dance and sing.
15 Joy has left our hearts;
our dancing has turned to mourning.

Lamentations 2:20-22
New Living Translation
20 “O Lord, think about this!
Should you treat your own people this way?
Should mothers eat their own children,
those they once bounced on their knees?
Should priests and prophets be killed
within the Lord’s Temple?
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.
22 “You have invited terrors from all around,
as though you were calling them to a day of feasting.
In the day of the Lord’s anger,
no one has escaped or survived.
The enemy has killed all the children
whom I carried and raised.”
Lamentations 2:20-22
New International Version

Whom have you ever treated like this?
Should women eat their offspring,(A)
the children they have cared for?(B)
Should priest and prophet be killed(C)
in the sanctuary of the Lord?(D)
Isaiah 65:20-22
New Living Translation
20 “No longer will babies die when only a few days old.
No longer will adults die before they have lived a full life.
No longer will people be considered old at one hundred!
Only the cursed will die that young!
21 In those days people will live in the houses they build
and eat the fruit of their own vineyards.
22 Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses
and confiscate their vineyards.
For my people will live as long as trees,
and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains.
Isaiah 65:20-22
New International Version
20 “Never again will there be in it
an infant(A) who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not live out his years;(B)
the one who dies at a hundred
will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred
will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses(C) and dwell in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(D)
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,(E)
or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,(F)
so will be the days(G) of my people;
my chosen(H) ones will long enjoy
the work of their hands.
