Lamentations 2:20-22
20See, Lord, and look! With 1whom have You dealt this way? Should women really 2eat their 3children, The little ones who were 4born healthy? Should 5priest and prophet really be killed In the sanctuary of the Lord?21On the ground in the streets Lie 6young and old; My 7virgins and my young men Have fallen by the sword. You have put them to death on the day of Your anger, You have slaughtered, 8without sparing.22You called as on the day of an appointed feast My 9terrors on every side; And there was 10no one who survived or escaped On the day of the Lord’s anger. As for those 11whom I brought forth healthy and whom I raised, My enemy annihilated them.”
