20See, O LORD, and look!
         With whom have You dealt thus?
         Should women eat their offspring,
         The little ones who were born healthy?
         Should priest and prophet be slain
         In the sanctuary of the Lord?

21On the ground in the streets
         Lie young and old;
         My virgins and my young men
         Have fallen by the sword.
         You have slain them in the day of Your anger,
         You have slaughtered, not sparing.

22You called as in the day of an appointed feast
         My terrors on every side;
         And there was no one who escaped or survived
         In the day of the LORD’S anger.
         Those whom I bore and reared,
         My enemy annihilated them.
