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.”
