Midrasz do Lamentacje Jeremiasza 2:21
שָׁכְב֨וּ לָאָ֤רֶץ חוּצוֹת֙ נַ֣עַר וְזָקֵ֔ן בְּתוּלֹתַ֥י וּבַחוּרַ֖י נָפְל֣וּ בֶחָ֑רֶב הָרַ֙גְתָּ֙ בְּי֣וֹם אַפֶּ֔ךָ טָבַ֖חְתָּ לֹ֥א חָמָֽלְתָּ׃ (ס)
Leżeli na ziemi po ulicach chłopię i starzec. Dziewice i młodzieńcy moi polegli od miecza; zabijałeś w dzień gniewu Twojego, zarzynałeś bez litości.
Eikhah Rabbah
“Lad and elder lay on the ground in the streets, my young women and my young men fell by the sword. You killed on the day of Your wrath, You slaughtered, had no compassion” (Lamentations 2:21).
They “lay on the ground in the streets…” It is written: “I am filled with the wrath of the Lord; I am too weary to contain it. Pour onto the baby in the street and onto the gathering of youths, for men and women alike will be captured, the elderly with those whose days are numbered” (Jeremiah 6:11). Therefore, they “lay on the ground in the streets.”
