Lamentations 2:22

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

You called up my worst fears from every direction, like gathering people for a festival — except this was a day of your anger. No one got away, no one survived. The children I held as babies, the ones I raised and loved? My enemies destroyed them all.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes the deepest grief is watching those you nurtured and loved be taken away.
