    19For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

    21For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
