Lamentations 2:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou hast done thus: shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a [a]span long? shall the Priest and the Prophet be slain in the Sanctuary of the Lord?
21 The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword: thou hast slain them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed, and not spared.
22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my [b]terrors round about, so that in the day of the Lord’s wrath none escaped nor remained: those that I have nourished and brought up, hath mine enemy consumed.
