Lamentations 2:22 in Context — Lamentations 2

20 Mira, oh Jehová, y considera á quién has hecho así. ¿Han de comer las mujeres su fruto, los pequeñitos de sus crías? ¿Han de ser muertos en el santuario del Señor el sacerdote y el profeta?

21 Niños y viejos yacían por tierra en las calles; mis vírgenes y mis mancebos cayeron á cuchillo: mataste en el día de tu furor, degollaste, no perdonaste.

22 Has llamado, como á día de solemnidad, mis temores de todas partes; y en el día del furor de Jehová no hubo quien escapase ni quedase vivo: los que crié y mantuve, mi enemigo los acabó.
