Lamentations 2:20-22 See, O Lord, and behold! to whom hast thou ever done the like? Shall women, then, eat their own fruit, the babes they have tenderly nursed? or shall there be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord the priest and the prophet?

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ See, O Lord, and behold! to whom hast thou ever done the like? Shall women, then, eat their own fruit, the babes they have tenderly nursed? or shall there be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord the priest and the prophet? ²¹ There lie down on the ground in the streets the lad and the ancient: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain on the day of thy anger; thou hast slaughtered, thou hast not pitied. ²² Thou hast called, as it were on a festive day, my evil neighbors from round about; and there was not on the day of the Lord’s anger one that escaped or remained: those that I had tenderly nursed and reared up my enemy brought to their end.
