20 Jerusalem says: “Look, Lord, and see
    to whom you have done this.
·Women [L Should women…?] eat their own ·babies [L fruit; C short for “fruit of their womb”],
    the children ·they have cared for [they have nursed/borne; or which are well-formed; Deut. 28:53–55; Jer. 19:6–9].
·Priests and prophets are [L Should priests and prophets be…?] killed
    in the ·Temple [L holy place] of the Lord.

21 “People young and old
    lie outside on the ground.
My young women and young men
    have ·been killed [L fallen] by the sword.
You killed them on the day of your anger;
    you ·killed [slaughtered] them without ·mercy [pity].

22 “You invited ·terrors [or enemies] to come against me on every side,
    as if ·you were inviting them to a feast [L on an appointed/feast day].
No one escaped or remained alive
    on the day of the Lord’s anger.
My enemy has ·killed [annihilated]
    those I ·cared for [nursed; bore] and brought up.”
