20 “Look, Yahweh, and see to whom you have done thus!
    Should the women eat their offspring,
    the children that they held and bounced on their knees?
    Should the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?

21 “The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets.
    My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword.
You have killed them in the day of your anger.
    You have slaughtered, and not pitied.

22 “You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side.
    There was no one that escaped or remained in the day of Yahweh’s anger.
    My enemy has consumed those whom I have cared for and brought up.

20 See, O Jehovah, and behold to whom thou hast done thus!
Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands?
Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
21 The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets;
My virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword:
Thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast slaughtered, and not pitied.
22 Thou hast called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side;
And there was none that escaped or remained in the day of Jehovah’s anger:
Those that I have dandled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
