And He has caused an enemy to brejoice over you;

20 “See, O Lord, and consider!
To whom have You done this?
aShould the women eat their offspring,
The children1 they have cuddled?
Should the priest and prophet be slain
In the sanctuary of the Lord?

On the ground in the streets;
My virgins and my young men
Have fallen by the bsword;
You have slain them in the day of Your anger,
You have slaughtered and not pitied.
