21 Young and old lie on the ground in the streets.
    My young women and men are cut down by swords.
    You killed them on the day of your anger.
    You slaughtered them without any pity.
22 You have invited those who terrorize me on every side,
    as though they were invited to a festival.
    No one escaped or survived on the day of Yahweh’s anger.
    My enemy has murdered the children I nursed and raised.”
