22“You invited, like friends to a party, men to swoop down in attack

so that on the big day of God’s wrath no one would get away.

The children I loved and reared—gone, gone, gone.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

You summoned as if to a festival day

my terrors on every side,

and on the day of the anger of the Lord

no one escaped or survived;

those whom I held and raised

my enemy destroyed.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“As you summon to a feast day,

so you summoned against me terrors on every side.

In the day of the Lord’s anger

no one escaped or survived;

those I cared for and reared

my enemy has destroyed.”

You summon those who terrorize me on every side,

as if for an appointed festival day;

on the day of the Lord’s anger

no one escaped or survived.

My enemy has destroyed

those I nurtured and reared.

NLTNew Living Translation

“You have invited terrors from all around,

as though you were calling them to a day of feasting.

In the day of the Lord’s anger,

no one has escaped or survived.

The enemy has killed all the children

whom I carried and raised.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

You have summoned my horror from all around,

as if for a feast day;

no one on the day of Yahweh’s anger

is a fugitive and a survivor;

whoever I have cared for and reared,

my enemy has destroyed.

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.
