2. The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3. Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
4. We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5. How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6. Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.
7. For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.
8. Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
