Lamentations 2:19-22 Rise! Cry out in the night, in the head of the watches; pour your heart as water at the face of Adonay; lift your palms toward him for the soul of your infants who languish for famine in the top of all the outways.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ Rise! Cry out in the night, in the head of the watches; pour your heart as water at the face of Adonay; lift your palms toward him for the soul of your infants who languish for famine in the top of all the outways. ²⁰ See, O Yah Veh, and look to whom you thus exploit. Are the women to eat their fruit - infants of a palm span? - priest and the prophet slaughtered in the holies of Adonay? ²¹ The lad and the aged lie on the earth in the outways; my virgins and my young men fall by the sword; you slaughter them in the day of your wrath - slaughter and spare not. ²² You call as in a day of season my terrors all around, so that in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh there is neither escapee nor survivor; they whom I palm spanned and abounded my enemy consumed.
