What does Lamentations 2:22 mean?

You called as if to a festival, but it was for terror all around me. On the day of the Lord’s anger, no one escaped or survived. Those I cared for and raised, my enemy has destroyed. Lamentations 2:22 - Modern Text Bible

(Instead of a joyful gathering, there’s only destruction. The poet mourns the loss of everyone she loved.)
