Lamentations 2:20-22

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²⁰ Look, O Lord, and consider!
    To whom have you done this?
Should women eat their offspring,
    the children they have borne?
Should priest and prophet be killed
    in the sanctuary of the Lord?

²¹ The young and the old are lying
    on the ground in the streets;
my young women and my young men
    have fallen by the sword;
on the day of your anger you have killed them,
    slaughtering without mercy.

²² You invited my enemies from all around
    as if for a day of festival;
and on the day of the anger of the Lord
    no one escaped or survived;
those whom I bore and reared
    my enemy has destroyed.
