‏ Lamentations 2:20-21

v. 20: The people cry out to God, asking Him to see and consider their terrible suffering. The situation is so extreme that some mothers have resorted to eating their own children out of desperation. Priests and prophets have been killed in the sanctuary—there is no respect for anyone anymore.

v. 21: Young and old alike lie dead in the streets—killed by sword or starvation. Boys and girls have been struck down. God has allowed this slaughter to happen in the day of His anger, and there has been no escape or rescue.
