20. ‘Look, Lord, and consider:whom have you ever treated like this?Should women eat their offspring,the children they have cared for?Should priest and prophet be killedin the sanctuary of the Lord?
21. ‘Young and old lie togetherin the dust of the streets;my young men and young womenhave fallen by the sword.You have slain them in the day of your anger;you have slaughtered them without pity.
22. ‘As you summon to a feast day,so you summoned against me terrors on every side.In the day of the Lord’s angerno one escaped or survived;those I cared for and rearedmy enemy has destroyed.’
