Lamentations 2:20-21

20 Look, O Lord, and see!
^jWith whom have you dealt thus?
^kShould women eat the fruit of their womb,
the children of ^ltheir tender care?
Should ^mpriest and prophet be killed
in the sanctuary of the Lord?

ⁿlie the young and the old;
^omy young women and my young men
have fallen by the sword;
^pyou have killed them in the day of your anger,
slaughtering ^qwithout pity.
