19 Arise, cry out in the night:in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord:lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children,that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
20 Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou hast done this.Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of 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 thine anger;thou hast killed, and not pitied.
22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about,so that in the day of the Lord's anger none escaped nor remained:those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
