Lamentations 2:20-22
Lexham English Bible
20 See, Yahweh, and take note!
With whom have you dealt thus?
Should women eat their young
children of tender care?
Should priest and prophet be slain
in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 They lie in the soil of the streets,
young and old;
my young women[a] and young men,
they have fallen by the sword;
you have slain on the day of your anger,[b]
you have slaughtered and not shown mercy.
22 You have summoned my horror from all around,
as if for a feast day;
no one on the day of Yahweh’s anger
is a fugitive and a survivor;
whoever I have cared for and reared,
my enemy has destroyed.

20 Lord, look and consider
to whom you have done this.
Should women eat their own children,(A)
the infants they have nurtured?[a]
Should priests and prophets
be killed in the Lord’s sanctuary?

are lying on the ground in the streets.
My young women and young men

slaughtering without compassion.(B)
ת Taw
22 You summon those who terrorize me[b] on every side,(C)
as if for an appointed festival day;
