OET (OET-RV) The young and the old lie down in the dirt in the streets.
⇔ My young men and women have fallen by the sword.
⇔ You’ve had them struck down—at the time of your anger you slaughtered.

It is implied here that this refers to dead people. Alternate translation: “The corpses of both the young and the old lie on the dust”

(Some words not found in UHB: lie on_the,ground streets young and,old young_women_of,my and,young_men_of,my they_have_fallen in/on/at/with,sword slain in/on=day anger_of,your slaughtered not pity )
These phrases refer to people. These two opposites are used to refer to all ages of people. Alternate translation: “Both young people and old people” or “People of all ages” (See also: figs-merism)

Here the “sword” refers to their enemies. This is a euphemism that means that they were murdered by their enemies. Alternate translation: “My young women and my young men have been murdered by their enemies” or “My enemies have murdered my young women and my young men”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) you have slaughtered them

This speaks of Yahweh allowing the poeple to be slaughtered as if he killed them himself. Alternate translation: “you allowed them to be slaughtered” or “you allowed this to happen”
2:1-22 This chapter graphically portrays the Lord as Jerusalem’s destroyer.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
