2They have given the dead bodies of thy servants as food unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy pious ones unto the beasts of the earth.
3They have shed their blood like water all round about Jerusalem: and there is no one to bury them.
4We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those that are round about us.
5How long, Lord? wilt thou be indignant for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6Pour out thy fury over the nations that acknowledge thee not, and over the kingdoms that have not called on thy name.
7For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling-place.
8Oh remember not against us the iniquities of our fathers: make haste, let thy mercies come to our aid; for we are very miserable.
