21 My people, both young and old,
    lie dead in the streets.
Because you were angry,
my young men and women

enemies killed my children,
    my own little ones.

21 “Young and old lie together
    in the dust of the streets;
my young men and young women
    have fallen by the sword.(A)

    you have slaughtered them without pity.(B)

22 “As you summon to a feast day,
    so you summoned against me terrors(C) on every side.
In the day of the Lord’s anger
    no one escaped(D) or survived;
those I cared for and reared(E)
    my enemy has destroyed.”
