¹⁷ Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,^(A)
    nor will he pity^(B) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly^(C) and wicked,^(D)
    every mouth speaks folly.^(E)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.^(F)

¹¹ But I am full of the wrath^(A) of the Lord,
    and I cannot hold it in.^(B)

“Pour it out on the children in the street
    and on the young men^(C) gathered together;
both husband and wife will be caught in it,
    and the old, those weighed down with years.^(D)

²¹ Death has climbed in through our windows^(A)
    and has entered our fortresses;
it has removed the children from the streets
    and the young men^(B) from the public squares.
